history
Podhradie was mentioned in writing for the first time in 1245, at that time as Hornouc (modern Slovak: "Hrnovce"). After the construction of the Topoltschan Castle above the village in the late 13th century, the importance increased as it became a bailey village. This ended in the 18th century when the administration of the Topolchan domain moved to Tovarníky , which was reflected in the decline in population.
