History

[edit]

In the 11th century, the territory of Kostolné Kračany became part of the Kingdom of Hungary. In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1215 as Corcha. Its first church was consecrated to Saint Bartholomew before 1249. However, the settlement is considered to originate from the era of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin as the structure of the village reflects the ecclesiastical system as organised by King St Stephen of Hungary. The king ordered that all 10 villages must build a church, the villages named Karcha build the church in this village whose name in Hungarian means Church Karcha.

In the 14th century, it consisted of the following villages: Egyházaskarcha (1351), Remegkarcha (1355), Diákkarcha (1357), Barthalkarcha (1377) Lászlókarcha (1377) és Lucakarcha (1467). In 1561, the people of the village converted to the Protestant Reformed church, and only in 1729 was the Catholic congregation re-established. During the 16th and 17th centuries, the village was under the patronage of the Somogyi family. The population, 62 in 1840, grew to 80 by 1910. Ethnically, the population was predominantly Hungarian. Until the Treaty of Trianon, it was part of Pozsony county.
