History
editIn historical records the village was first mentioned in 1245 as Danuskue (1255 Kues, 1344 Anyaskw; the name comes from Slavic "Hajnáč") when a big castle stood here. The village developed from the farmyard under the castle. It was always the seat of important feudal lords. In 1545 it was besieged by Turks. During the Turkish times the village was abandoned. In 1773 there were only 13 peasant farmers and some craftsmen living in the village. In 1828 there were 84 houses and 375 inhabitants. These people mainly lived from agriculture till 1945. From 1938 till 1944 Hajnáčka was part of Hungary.
