Culture and History

The cultural history of the village is reflected in several different sites. The Zemianska kúria was built by the Thúry family in the 18th century and served as the seat of the landed estate. The Jewish cemetery in Zemianske Sady contains approximately 70 relatively well-preserved gravestones. The religious architecture also includes the branch church in Zemianske Sady, the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary (2000).

A restored cross behind the locality of Žľabina in the direction of Šintavský háj is intended as a place for quiet moments of prayer and remembrance during walks.

Archaeological Traces
