Velký Šariš: four stripes blue - white - blue - white. (The map mentioned
shows the same flag for Nováky!)
Aleš Křižan, 22 Jan 2001
Velký Šariš, the administrative centre of former
Šariš county is situated north of Presov below Šariš castle.
Its history is linked with the history of Šariš castle. It
is supported by documents of the13th century. It was, however, built
one century earlier. Since the 19th Century, there is a modern steam
mill (1853) and since 1967, a well-known brewery here. In the small town
the poet Jozef Tomasik-Dumin lived between the wars. The castle
has been in ruins since 1687. Its captain in the
16th century was Juraj Werhner, the autor of the paper "About miracle
water of Hungary". The roman Catholic Church of St. James goes
back to the second half of the 13th Century. The Gothic chapel is
from the middle of the 14th century and the chapel in the cemetery
is late 17th century. Šariš castle is a natural protected area.(Info

Veľky Šariš is 5 km northwest of Prešov in eastern Slovakia. On a hill
(550 m) above the place, in the middle of a copse stand the ruins of a
medieval castle as old as the 11th century and once the seat of the district
administration of Šariš.
