SK, Bučany – A Beauty of the Podunajská Highlands
This time we will visit the picturesque village of Bučany located approximately 9 kilometers from the regional city of Trnava (towards Piešťany). The village offers to see several remarkable monuments, such as the church of St. Margita of Antioch from 1410, rebuilt in the 18th century, or the ruins of a late Rococo castle. Perhaps the biggest attraction of this village is the Nyáryovská Kurie situated on the highest point of the village, which serves as a cultural and social center.
