History

Slakovci were first mentioned in 1491. They got their name from the weed "slak" or the Hungarian word "slavok" which means Slavs. The feudal family of Gorjanski built a fort in Slavkovci for defense against the Turks. The Turks ruled the Slakovci from 1526 to 1691, and after that the Slakovci belonged to the military territory. [3]
