  2. Basic informations Sereď is a town in southern Slovak Replubic near Trnava, on the right bank of the Váh River on the Danubian Lowland. It has аpproximately 15,000 inhabitants. It has a cinema, culture house, many restaurants And confectioner's shops.

  3. Geography Sereď lies at an altitude of 129 metres above sea level and covers an area of 30.454 square kilometres. It is located in the Danubian Lowland on the Váh river, around 20 kilometres south-east of Trnava, 33 kilometres west of Nitra and around 55 kilometres east from Bratislava. The closest mountain ranges are the Little Carpathians to the west and Považský Inovec to the north.

  4. History The town was first mentioned in 1313 as Zereth. In the Middle Ages, it lay on the trade route called "Bohemian Road" which ran fromBuda toPrague on the right bank of the Váh river. Thanks to its location, livestock and grain markets were held in the town and thousands of cattle moved through the town each year. Its commercial importance ended in 1846, when the Pozsony-Nagyszombat (now: Bratislava-Trnava) railway was built.

  5. History In 1910, it had a population of 5371, among them 2941 Slovaks, 1943 Hungarians and 429 Germans. Until 1918, it belonged to Galánta District of Pozsony County of the Kingdom of Hungary. After the Treaty of Trianon, the town became part of Czechoslovakia in 1920.

  6. Cityscape and architecture The historically most important building is the Esterházy manor-house (castle) which is located on the site of the once famous medieval water-castle ofSempte. The manor-house was built in 1840 in classicist style; it was later altered in empire style. It is now in ruins and awaits restoration. The remains of the medieval castle are hidden in its walls. The local authority and civil association VodnýHrad do their best to save this symbol of the town.

  7. Cityscape and architecture John the Baptist Church is situated on the opposite place of the former parish church since 1781. When the former church burned down on August 2, 1777, the Esterhazy family decided to build a new one and they moved there the two renaissance tomb-stones with relief of anti-Turkish warriors.

  8. Demographics According to the 2001 census, the town had 17,406 inhabitants: • 96.16% of inhabitants wereSlovaks, • 1.32%Hungarians, • 0.95%Czechs • 0.65%Roma. The religious makeup was 72.52% Roman Catholics, 20.77% people with no religious affiliation and 1.97%Lutherans.
