Častá (German Schattmannsdorf , Hungarian Cseszte ) is a municipality in western Slovakia .
It is located on the eastern slope of the Little Carpathians in the transition area to Trnavská pahorkatina ( Tyrnauer hill country ) and consists of the main town Častá ( Schattmannsdorf ) and the incorporated district of Červený Kameň ( Bibersburg ).
In the village there is the St. Emmerich Church (an originally Gothic church from the 15th century) and a stone pillory from the 17th century.

history
Častá arose from an outer ward of the beaver lodge . The place was mentioned for the first time in 1296 (1240?); he belonged to the manor of the Bibersburg. In the 13th century it was listed as Shastus , Sathmansdorf , Sathmania , Schatmansdorf , Czasta or Czeste , depending on the nationality of the secretary .
Since the 16th century, Častá was a small town with market (from 1560) and fair (from 1578) rights. In the same century, some families of the lower nobility and some Croatians settled here.
In the past the village had a brewery (16th century - 18th century), a paper workshop (from the 17th century), a textile factory (late 18th century), gold and silver mines (17th century) and sulfur - and copper pits (19th century). The population dealt mainly with agriculture and viticulture .
In 1644, Častá was struck by a great fire that destroyed almost all houses. In 1738 a plague epidemic devastated the place and the deceased residents were followed by German colonists.
Between around 1600 and the end of World War II , the village had a fairly large minority of Jewish descent. The Jews had their own synagogue and two cemeteries since 1884 . After the expulsion from Moravia in the first half of the 16th century, Anabaptist Hutterites founded a community in the village in 1665 .
