Шаблон:Infobox settlement Borský Mikuláš (Шаблон:IPA-sk; Шаблон:Lang-de or Шаблон:Lang; Шаблон:Lang-hu) is a large village and municipality in Senica District in the Trnava Region of western Slovakia.
History
In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1394.
The first mention of the village comes from the 14th century. In later times, the Hutterites immigrated here, who are reminded of the settlement called Habány.
But finds from the Roman era prove that people moved in the village's territory in the first centuries of our era. Thus, in the 14th century, Borský Mikuláš is mentioned as Zenthmiklos; r. 1773 the names Bur Swatý Mikuláš, Bur Sancti Nicolai, Bur Sancti Petri, Bur-Sankt-Nicklasz, Bur-Sankt-Peter, Bur-Szent-Miklós, Bur-Szent-Péter appear; r. In 1920, the village was called Burský Svätý Mikuláš, Burský Svätý Peter; from 1960 then Borský Mikuláš and Borský Peter.
The first written mention of the village comes from 1394, from the records of the newly established land administration, which supplemented the already functioning church administration.
The oldest mention of the village is in the form of Zenthmiklos and Zenthpeter is in the document of the Bratislava Chapter dated July 3, 1394. It is a statute for Stibor of Stiborice, which gives him the possession of the Ostriež (Sharp Stone) estate. According to this document and other documents, Borský Mikuláš belonged to Ostriež Castle as a vassal village. Later, the village belonged to the Holíč manor and its ruling Czobor family, who sold it to the Habsburgs.
The patron saint of the village is St. Nicholas, who in the 18th century also became the symbol of the village. The older symbol of the village was a running fox under a pine tree. The seal with this sign dates back to 1597 and this motif was also used for the current coat of arms of the village. The former village of Borský Peter had the emblem of St. Peter.
