history
The place arose near an old trade route and was first mentioned in writing in 1252 as part of terra quinque villarum (area of the five places), which was donated to the Premonstratensian convent in an act of donation by Béla IV , before the village was part of villa sancti Ypoliti , from which today's Kláštor pod Znievom arose. Another written mention in 1422 contains the village name Tothfalva . Otherwise, the documents on village life in the Middle Ages are sparse.
It was not until the 16th century that there were changes in ownership with several noble families and Jesuits, although parts of the population turned to robbery because of the high levels of natural produce and the chaos of war in the 16th and 17th centuries. The historical University of Tyrnau (from 1777 in Buda) was the last landlord from 1775 to 1848. In 1715, 38 households lived in Slovany, in 1785 the village had 74 houses and 633 inhabitants, in 1828 there were 85 houses and 707 inhabitants who were employed as oil pressers as well as hemp, linen and saffron processors .
