Hervartov (German Herbertsdorf , Hungarian Hervartó ) is a municipality in northeastern Slovakia 9 km southwest of Bardejov .
The remote place, which lies in the eastern foothills of the Čergov , was first mentioned in 1406 as Eberhardtuagasa . It was founded by German colonists, but the German residents were assimilated by the Slovaks over the centuries. At first the place belonged to the rule of Hertník , then later to the city of Bardejov.
The Roman Catholic wooden church from 1593 to 1596, which is dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi , is worth seeing . The church is possibly the oldest surviving wooden church in Slovakia. In 2008 the building was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List .
