history

The place was first mentioned in writing in 1156 as Plast and originally belonged to Hont Castle , then to the Gran Chapter. Since the late 13th century the place was owned by the local landowners and in the 16th century the Čabraď Castle . On August 10, 1552, a battle between the Ottoman and imperial troops took place near the site, from which the Ottomans emerged victorious; a chapel commemorates this event.

Until 1918/1919 the place in Hont County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia . Due to the First Vienna Arbitration Award , he was once again in Hungary from 1938-45.
