history
The place was mentioned for the first time in 1113 in the Zobor documents as Costelan . The Catholic Church of St. George , which dates back to pre-Romanesque times, contains wall paintings that were probably made in the 11th century when the stone church was built. Romanesque wall paintings are rare in Slovakia and almost only preserved in village churches, which also include the churches in Šivetice and Dravce .
The western part initially belonged to the estate of Gýmeš Castle, which acquired the entire place in the 13th century, while the eastern part belonged to the Zobor Abbey. In the early 14th century it belonged to the oligarch Matthäus Csák , since 1386 to the Forgách family. The population was mainly employed in agriculture, in the 19th century there was a parquet board factory here. In 1828 there were 62 houses and 432 inhabitants.
