Buková (until 1948 Slovak "Biksard"; German Bixard , older Scharfenstein (1256), Hungarian Bikszárd ) is a place and a municipality in the Okres Trnava of Trnavský kraj in western Slovakia .
geography
The community is located in the Little Carpathians at the confluence of several streams. Above the village is the Buková reservoir (Slov. Vodná nádrž Buková ). To the south rises the highest mountain of the Little Carpathians, the Záruby ( 767 m nm ). For these reasons, the place is a popular recreational area and there are many weekend houses in the surrounding mountains. Buková is located on a district road between Trstín and Plavecký Peter on the respective sides of the Little Carpathians and is 26 kilometers away from Trnava .
history
The place arose on the old "Bohemian Street", a trade route between Buda and Prague. Even before it was first mentioned, the Szeklers and Cumans were resident here as border guards of the Hungarian state. In a document of Béla IV. From 1256 Buková is mentioned as Byk , then in 1394 as Bygzaad . The place belonged to the estate of Scharfenstein Castle (Slovak Hrad Ostrý Kameň ), which rose south of Bixard and was built in 1273. During the Rákoczi uprising in the early 18th century, the castle was razed. From the 14th century until 1752 tolls were raised in Bixard, this activity and the seat of the manor was moved to Moravský Svätý Ján (German Sankt Johann an der March ) in 1752 .
There was a quarry and a lime kiln in the village .
