history

Reformed Church in Mýtne Ludany

Mýtne Ludany was mentioned in writing for the first time in 1075 in an act of donation from Géza I to the Abbey of Hronský Beňadik as Villa Ludan . Until the middle of the 14th century, the village was in the Hont County , after which it became part of the Bars County. In the 14th century Mýtne Ludany was owned by the Lewenz Castle , which maintained a toll station here and had markets organized. In 1536 the village had a total of 22 portals as well as a shopkeeper and a shoemaker, in 1601 the village had 67 houses. During the Turkish Wars, and especially immediately after an Ottoman offensive in 1663, the area was affected. In 1828 there were 102 houses and 644 inhabitants who were employed as farmers and cattle herders. The last large landowners came from the Esterházy and Schöller families .
