ABOUT TOWN PRIEVIDZA

Prievidza.sk

The first written document about Prievidza (Preuigan) appeared in a document from the Hungarian king Koloman in 1113, confirming property owned by a Benedictine abbey at Zobor. An advantageous geographic position contributed to the towns establishment and development. Prievidza lay at the intersection of two important commercial roads, which suggests that Prievidza is an ancient Slavic settlement.
The most important source covering Prievidzas medieval history can be, without doubt, a charter issued on 28 January 1383 for the town, which emphasizes that the Prievidza locality was one of the free royal cities.
