The place was mentioned for the first time as a Gezt in 1231 , when it passed from royal possession at the Bratislava Castle into the hands of Šebeš from the noble family of the Counts of Svätý Jur and Pezinok . Other owners were the Gesztis (part of the 14th century), Poor Clares of Trnava (from 1553), Viktoria Folliot de Crenville (much later), the Esterházys (from 1805), the Čeklís-Bernolákovo manor (from 1817).
In 1786 Germans were settled here, but they soon emigrated or were assimilated by the Slovaks.
