Tachty


Tachty is a village and municipality in the Rimavská Sobota District of the Banská Bystrica Region of southern Slovakia.

History

The village was founded after the Mongol invasion around the church of St. Nicholas in the Church Tower in 1290. During the Turkish occupation, it was destroyed and depopulated. It was then part of the Kingdom of Hungary within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The village was incorporated into the newly formed Czechoslovakia in 1918 following World War I, as ordered by the 1920 Treaty of Trianon. This status was briefly interrupted between 1938 and 1945, when Tachty was returned to Hungary under the terms of the First Vienna Award. Following the conclusion of World War II, the village was restored to Czechoslovakia, where it remained until the dissolution of the federation on January 1, 1993, at which point it became part of the independent Slovak Republic.
