“The thirty station”
It is the former house of the town hall. The frontal facade and the entrance are situated from the Na mýte street. There is a classicistic house having three floors and cellar. From the main facade the medium protrusion of wall is extended.

For comparison, we can extract some lines from the “Devinska Nová Ves” password, the 1st volume, Register of the Landmarks in the Slovak Republic: “The thirty station” - classicistic ground floor house having rectangular ground plan and central protrusion on the main facade wall had been built in the 18th century and later, in the first half of the 19th century, was reconstructed.

This characteristic clearly defines that the house of the contemporary town hall as “the thirty station”. Considering the house No. 6 located in the Istrijská street behind the thirty house is an evident mistake, because the house does not have on the facade any vertical protrusion extending upwards from the grounding.

As far as a difference of floors concerns, it could probably caused the interchange. We can explain it very easy: so as after the last reconstruction in the eighties of the 20th century the contemporary town hall with the built up attic has three floors, in the 19th century the thirty house was only the ground building.

The former toll-house served as a tenement-house (one-floor house having cellar) for some tenants.

The „thirty house“was named after the first owner´s family - Kendefi house. According to the difference in the numbers of the floors, that could suggested a mistake, are the cause of the last re-construction in the 80 ´s of the 20th century when the house had been used as the Club of youth. In the back of the courtyard had been in the first half of the 20th century post-office and till 1984 it had been used as a library.

In years of the first Czechoslovak republic and the Slovak State (1928-1945) a police station was situated there on the ground floor was the general merchandise shop. Before the last reconstruction, the youth club there and till 1984 also the local library resided there.

In the first half of the 20th century also the post-office was in the rear part of the yard.
