history

Close view of the church

Mierovo was first mentioned in writing as Beke in 1260 . The place belonged to several landowners, such as Séredy and Mérey in 1553; in the same year the village had a total of five portals . In the 19th century, Béke was divided between the estates of Eberhardt and St. Georgen . In 1828 there were 33 houses and 241 inhabitants,

Until 1919, the place in Pressburg County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia or now Slovakia. 1938-45 he was again in Hungary due to the First Vienna Arbitration .

In 1948, the place previously called Béke was first named in honor of the Slovak historian Juraj Sklenár (1744–1790) "Sklenárovo" (also means sklenár in German glassmaker ), followed in 1960 another renaming to Mierovo. From a linguistic point of view, today's name is a translation of Hungarian, since Hungarian beke = slow. mier , in German peace.
