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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I believe my ardour for invention springs from his loins. I can’t say that the brassiere will ever take as great a place in history as the steamboat, but I did invent it.”
—Caresse Crosby (1892–1970)
“The history of his present majesty, is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations ... all of which have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
