geography

The community is located in the Trnavská pahorkatina (part of the Slovakian Danube lowlands ) on a corridor terrace of the Dudváh . The almost 8.6 km² large municipal area has a share in the Bohunice nuclear power plant west of the village. The town center is located at an altitude of 166  m nm and is 15 kilometers from Hlohovec , 16 kilometers from Trnava and 21 kilometers from Piešťany .

The village Peťová (Hungarian Petőfalva ), incorporated in 1907, belongs to the municipality and is no longer part of the municipality today.

history

Pečeňady was first mentioned in writing in 1208 as a Bissenorum . An indirect mention is already in the Zobor documents in 1113 in a description of the boundaries of the neighboring village Bohunice . To the east of it was a camp of the Pechenegs and Szeklers , who monitored an inner border line as part of the Hungarian Gyepű system. The name of the place means "village of the Petschenegen".

After the borders were stabilized in the 14th century, the camp was abandoned and re-established as a village in the late 14th century due to the immigration of South Slavic settlers. Since then, the village has belonged to the domain of Guttenstein Castle (Slovak hrad Dobrá Voda ) in the Little Carpathians . Significant families in the place up to the 20th century were Bánffy up to the half of the 17th century and then Užovič , of Croatian descent , who received the neighboring town of Peťová as a donation around 1450.

The place Peťová was first mentioned in writing in 1452 as Petewfalwa .
