Ivanka pri Dunaji

Ivanka pri Dunaji (Hungarian: Pozsonyivánka) is a village and municipality in western Slovakia in Senec District in the Bratislava Region. History In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1209. In the centre of the village is a large rococo style house, built in the third quarter of the 18th century. It was altered at the beginning of the 20th century, by order of the Hunyadi family. The building has a combination of romanesque and gothic elements on its facade, including oriels, balconies, windows, and a polygonal tower with an Art Nouveau style top. The house was originally surrounded by an extensive French-style park. In 1919, near Ivanka pri Dunaji, a plane carrying Milan Rastislav Štefánik—a prominent Slovak politician, diplomat, and astronomer—crashed, resulting in his death.
