The Archaeological Museum of the Slovak National Museum in Bratislava realized excavations of an extinct church fort in the village of Svodín (part Maďarský Svodín) in the years 1995-2000. The first written account of the St. Michael’s church comes from the year 1291. At the beginning of the 17th century a fort against Turks was built around it. The church was destroyed in 1945. The excavations revealed the church basement with graves, the fortification base trench, remains of ossarium, the castle storing pits and parts of a castle ditch. The excavation results were published already. The finds of glass were spread over the whole excavation area. A small glass bottle was found behind the church. The pit I included a coin of Magyar King Ferdinand II. (1639), neck of a kutrolf, fragment of a glass vessel with geometric and plant ornament and fragment of a glass vessel with coloured depiction of a warrior. In the pit IV a coin of Magyar king Matthias II. (1608-1619) was found together with 23 blue glass raspberry-shaped beads. The pit VI included two legged glass cups.
