There was just a waste land with seven villages. The church was built in
the middle of these seven villages by the king Steven I., 1 000 years ago.
This territory was called the Kingdom of Uhorsko.
This is GEMER – our region now.
The big village which was made from those seven villages people called
Štefanová, according to Steven I.
Štefanová had a visit in 1335. It was the king Karol Róbert. He liked this
Village and gave it urban rights and called it Rimavská Sobota.

Stayed a few right in this town and because he liked it, he gave the coat –
