Kúty

Kúty, (German: Kutti; Hungarian: Jókút) is a village and municipality in Senica District in the Trnava Region of western Slovakia.

The village was first mentioned in 1392 under the name Kuth. And in 1498 as Kwhty. Kút is equal to Corner - a distant place in the bend of rivers or roads or mountains.

The oldest archaeological find of historical settlement dates back to the Stone Age (2000 - 1900 BC) and later from the Bronze Age (1500 - 700 BC). Other archaeological finds are from the Iron Age of La Tène (500 - 0 after Christ) and from the pre-fortified and earlier fortified settlements in local parts Čepangát and Sigeca, in the historical confluence of the Morava and Myjava rivers.

In the Middle Ages, it belonged to the manor of Ostrý kameň, later to the Czobor family. In 1645 the village was burned down. According to a document from 1678, when there were three mills in Kúty, Count Adam Czobor donates one of the mills to Pavel Dopiera. Since 1736 the village was owned by the Habsburg family.

In 1707 the first mention of the Chapel of St. Anne appears in the documents. In 1717 - 1726 the church of St. Joseph the Foster Father was built in the village, in 1826 the bell tower and in 1841 the church tower was finished.

The oldest part of the village is the part of Kaniža, in its immediate vicinity there is a part of Hribov (behind the church in the direction of Břeclav) and part called The Village (Bratislavská street) with characteristic historical building structures oriented perpendicular to public roads and courtyards leading to the street.

The first seal of the village with a village coat of arms comes from the 17th century and characterizes the employment of the indigenous population - agriculture.

The village coat of arms is in a green shield, depicting a golden mouldboard in the upper part, and a silver plough underneath, with a green Mercury's rod on it (called caduceus). The mouldboard and plough symbolize agricultural tools. Mercury's rod symbolizes the geographic location of the village - the center of commerce, customs, and the intersection of major roads. The shield is in late gothic style. The colour of the coat of arms was chosen to match the basic rules of heraldry for the use of colours and metals.
