Mošovce is one of the largest villages in the historical region of Turiec, currently in the Turčianske Teplice District in the Žilina Region of northern Slovakia. ==History== Many preserved historical buildings are the evidence of the 770 years of its existence. It was mentioned for the first time in 1233 in the deed of donation by King Andrew II. Originally, Mošovce was made up of two settlements: The first one, ''Machyuch'', was located in the area of today’s ''Starý Rad'', and the second one, ''Terra Moys'', which gave the village its current name, occupied the place of the present day ''Vidrmoch''. And it is the name of the second settlement meaning The Land of Mojš, which makes us believe that the whole village once belonged to certain Mr. ''Mojš'', whose name might have been an abbreviation of a compound Slavic name ''Mojtech'', similar to the names ''Vojtech'' or ''Mojmír''. Throughout history the name of the village has undergone many variations ranging from ''Mossovych'', ''Mosocz'', ''Mossowecz'', ''villa regia Mayos alio nomine Mossovych'', ''oppidioum Mayus sue Mosocz'', ''Mosocz olim Mayus'' to the present-day Mošovce. The name of a separate ancient part of Mošovce, a former settlement ''Chornukov'', has been preserved in the modern form of ''Čerňakov''. Yet another part of the village bears the name of ''Mazan''. Mošovce first developed as a royal settlement with a free advocacy, and from the middle the 14th century as a privileged town subjected to the royal castle of Blatnica. In 1527 it fell into the hands of the Révay family, who suppressed the town privileges of Mošovce for almost 400 years. In the past, Mošovce was an important craft center of the Turiec region. Crafts experienced a surprising expansion, and there were around 15 guilds active in the town; the bootmaker and the most famous furrier guild were the ones to survive for the longest time. The present-day Mošovce can be characterized as an important tourist area with many sights. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mošovce」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
