Selo (Hungarian Nagytótlak , German Laak bei Sankt Nikolai ) is a village in the municipality of Moravske Toplice (German: Morauch ) in Slovenia . It consists of the districts of Bétlehem, Dolóvje, Gábrnik, Kócetke, Lípajge, Mákotrov Breg, Pesérje, Püsnovi, Vrej and Vršič. In 2015 there were 259 residents here.

Surname

In the Middle Ages the place was named after the church, Lakszentmiklós or Lak for short. From the 18th century, the name Tót-lak prevailed, from which the official Hungarian name Nagytótlak ("Great Tótlag") became. The German name of the village is Laak bei Sankt Nikolai . The place is called Selanci in Prekmurian . From 1918 the place was called Selo v Prekmurju . It was changed to Selo in 1952 . The name Selo na Goričkem is also common.

location

The village is located on the national road 725 between the districts of Fokovci and Prosenjakovci in the valley of the Kobiljan stream (Slovene Kobiljanski potok ). It is only five kilometers to the Hungarian border and ten kilometers to the administrative center of Moravske Toplice. The whole valley belongs to the Goričko landscape .

history

The Goričko area was criss-crossed with settlements as early as Roman times. The remains of Roman burial mounds around Selo and the traces of the Roman road to Savaria (Szombathely) bear witness to this. The village itself was first mentioned in 1365 as Laak in districtu seu valle Lak Sancti Nicolai in a document from the Hungarian King Louis the Great . He gave the place to Peter Széchy , the son of Nikola Széchy, the Ban of Dalmatia and Croatia.

In the years from 1587 to 1610 the area was plundered several times by the Turks. In 1685 the male line of the Széchy family died out and the village fell to the Batthyány and Szapáry families .

In 1851 Tót-lak had 326 Protestant and 125 Catholic residents. In 1896 the village already had 742 inhabitants, including many Slovenes and a small Jewish community. In 1910 Tótlak had 757 inhabitants, with the greater part of the population being Slovenes.

After the First World War, the region was part of the short-lived Mur republic (Slovenian: Murska republika ) in 1919 and then became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. From 1941 to 1945 Selo was Hungarian again due to the Vienna arbitration awards . After the Second World War, it was returned to Yugoslavia in 1945.

Saint Nikolai Church

  • The St. Nikolai Rotunda (Slovenian cerkev Sveti Nikolaja ) was probably built in the middle of the 13th century and is the most famous round church in Slovenia. It was first mentioned in 1365 in a deed of gift from the Hungarian King Louis the Great to Peter Széchy. The brick building with a conical shingle roof and a small turret in the center has not been fundamentally changed since it was built. The interior is decorated with art-historically significant frescoes from the 14th and 15th centuries. The best preserved are the frescoes in the dome from the 15th century. They show Jesus Christ surrounded by the sun and moon and the symbols of the four evangelists. In the arch below there are scenes from the suffering of Christ, saints are depicted in the niches.

A late Gothic winged altar was erected around 1490, but it was brought to a Budapest museum in 1864. The church was renovated in 1845/46, 1956 and 1978/79. The rotunda is a branch church of the parish Saint Johannes in Moravske Toplice (German: Morauch ). The church is a national cultural heritage of Slovenia.

Selo Lutheran Church

The Evangelical Lutheran Church was started at the end of the 19th century and completed at the beginning of the 20th century. It was built in the neo-Romanesque style. The restoration, which began in 1939, has to be canceled due to the war. It was not until 1966 that the renovation could be completed thanks to donations from abroad. The church is also a national cultural heritage of Slovenia.

More Attractions

To the north and west of Selo are Roman burial mounds that have been archaeologically examined. There are also remains of an early medieval fortified settlement, around 10,000 m² in size, which was protected by a moat. It wasn't discovered until 1988.
