History
The village of Kos was mentioned for the first time in 1367. The prince of the Hungarian palatinate, Ladislav from Opole, brought out the Soltesian act. The new settlement was called Andreasdorf (Andrew's village) probably because of the chapel being consecrated to the St. Andrew. In the later epoch, the name was changed to Kos. According to the date inscribed into the central arch, St. Andrew's church was finished in 1409.
A 400t heavy Gothic chapel was part of the church. Interior of the chapel was painted with unique wall paintings which, unfortunately, are now mostly destroyed.
