Chorvátsky Grob

Chorvátsky Grob (Croatian: Hrvatski Grob, Hungarian: Horvátgurab, Horvát-Gurab, German: Kroatisch-Eisgrub) is a village and municipality in western Slovakia in Senec District in the Bratislava region.

This refers to the Croatian people that have lived in the area since the early 16th century.

This population arrived here after escaping the area between Sisak and Kostajnica during the Ottoman Wars.

The area was settled by Croatians escaping from Turkish Ottoman raids which helps explain the etymology of the present-day name from "Horvát Gurab" to "Chorvátsky Grob" (Croatian Grave) used at the present time.
