Understand

Levice, a charming town in Hungary, has a rich history dating back to the 12th century. The first written record of Levice is from 1156, mentioning the consecration of the St. Martin church in Bratka village by Archbisop Martirius of Esztergom. The village of Leua, now known as Levice, was under the rule of the Tekov castle and was located on the eastern part of the present-day town. The village was then united with the villages of "villa Leua" and Vitk, forming a vibrant parish community. Even today, the slopes of the vineyard, known as Old Levice, hold echoes of the town's ancient past. To discover more about the rich heritage and attractions of Levice, visit the Tourist Information Agency located on Holubyho Street 2, just behind the Levice's Town Hall.
