Pravenec (Template:Lang-hu) is a village and municipality in Prievidza District in the Trenčín Region of western Slovakia.

History

In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1267.

Located further north is the historical part with a renaissance manor-house protected by certificate of immunity[6] as well as a baroque mansion.[7] In the time period around 1640 Pravenec was part of the Bojnice lordship.

The new part of Pravenec was founded in the 1940s shortly after the Baťa woodworking factory was established.

The municipality lies at an altitude of 325 metres and covers an area of 10.794 km2. It has a population of about 1,241 people.[8]
