Stupava, Slovakia
Stupava (German: Stampfen; Hungarian: Stomfa) is a town in western Slovakia. It is situated in the Malacky District, Bratislava Region.
The name is derived from Proto-Slavic stǫpa (Slovak: stupa) - a wooden bowl carved from a tree trunk, but also the name of various crushing and pressing tools.
The municipality lies at an altitude of 178 metres (584 ft) and covers an area of 67.17 km2 (25.93 sq mi) (2025).
The town is located in the Záhorie lowland, under the Little Carpathians, around 15 km (9 mi) north of Bratislava at an altitude of 182 metres. It has a land area of 67.17 km2 (26 sq mi). Apart from the core part of the city, Mást (German: Maaßt, Hungarian: Mászt), located just south of the core part of the city, is another part of Stupava. It has been initially a separate village with ethnic Croatian majority, which was formally annexed by Stupava in 1953.
Traces of habitation go back to the Bronze Age, and the first known inhabitants were the Celts. The Romans built a military station as a part of the near Limes Romanus on the Danube. The first written mention about the town was in 1269 in a document of the King Béla IV under name Ztumpa. In the second half of the 13th century the now-ruined Pajštún Castle in the Little Carpathians was built. It was developing mainly as an agricultural and trading settlement. The name of the town comes from the pressing mills called stupa on the Stupavský potok brook, which were used for extracting oil from flax and hemp.
It has a population of 12,979 people (31 December 2025).
In year 2021 was 12,595 people by ethnicity 11,426 as Slovak, 918 as Not found out, 170 as Czech, 100 as Hungarian, 83 as Other, 58 as Rusyn, 38 as German, 30 as Ukrainian, 22 as Russian, 15 as Polish, 13 as Serbian, 10 as Croatian, 9 as Italian, 9 as Romanian, 8 as French, 8 as English, 8 as Albanian, 7 as Romani, 6 as Iranian, 5 as Austrian, 5 as Moravian, 4 as Chinese, 4 as Irish, 3 as Jewish, 2 as Turkish, 1 as Korean, 1 as Canadian, 1 as Greek and 1 as Bulgarian.
Note on population: The difference between the population numbers above and in the census (here and below) is that the population numbers above are mostly made up of permanent residents, etc.; and the census should indicate the place where people actually mainly live.
For example, a student is a citizen of a village because they have permanent residence there (they lived there as a child and has parents), but most of the time he studies at a university in the city.
