The village of Bratislava-Záhorská Bystrica

When Gašpar Szerédy took possession of the Stupava estate from the Hungarian King Ferdinand I., Záhorská Bystrica became a permanent part of the Stupava estate. Colonists from Croatia, later peasants from Moravia, Austria and neighboring estates, gradually began to settle it as one of the first villages. In the tax list from that period, Záhorská Bystrica is referred to as Bystrica, a village of Slovaks and Croats.

In the years 1624-1752, Záhorská Bystrica was also a parish for the inhabitants of Lamač, which meant the rapprochement of both villages, despite the fact that they had different landowners. In the 18th century, the village gained a reputation as the richest village in the Záhorská part of Bratislava. It had not only a large population (1,503), but also significant agricultural production. This was made possible by favorable soil and climatic conditions, suitable for growing various crops. The people of Bystrice were known for its cultivation and sale in Bratislava and Vienna. Agriculture and livestock farming were the main source of livelihood during private farming. We know especially specially grown potatoes - kifle (rolls) and of course excellent cabbage - greens. Fruit and vineyards were grown in the peripheral parts of the area - Steep peaks, Dívčí hrádok, Boháčky, Kerepušky, Piesky, Vrchná and Dolná hora.
Záhorská Bystrica was annexed to the capital in 1972. the city of Bratislava in order to develop the capital to the northwest. It thus began one of the most important events in its history. With its area, the cadastral territory represents the fourth largest territory falling under the city of Bratislava. It is characterized by its triangular shape.
