history

The place was first mentioned in writing in 1396 as Kabucza . The story is closely linked to that of the nearby Beckov Castle due to the fact that it belongs to their estate. Due to complicated power relations, two districts were created later, which only merged again in 1888: Panská Kálnica and Rožnova Kálnica. Both places remained dominated by agriculture and at that time viticulture, fishing, weaving and the manufacture of wood products were also common.
