The aim of the article is to be acquainted with issues of the contemporary legends and rumours. Concretely, the work is concentrated on the narrations collected in the urban environment of Žilina. In the first place these ones are tested to comparison with Czech contemporary legends but also with other foreign materials mainly from the USA. The work shows continuity of contemporary legends themes both at older types of motives and parallels with material acquired via internet. It tries to identify latent tidings of concrete narrations and demonstrates respondent´s attitudes to the given theme. The contemporary legends and rumours issue in Žilina was classified on the basis of typological classification of J. H. Brunvand. It was elaborated within the bounds of seven thematic spheres: car legends, frightening legends, animal legends, sex and scandal legends, crimes, business and professional legends, academic legends. The issue was elaborated on the basis of field research which enabled to show at local particularities of contemporary legends and rumours.

The paper based on the analysis of municipal law in the town of Žilina is concerned with legal relation of plots of land and the things attached to them. The town code of Žilina was an expression of the Magdeburg law and it reached Žilina through the influence of the town of Krupina. The tavernical law is also analysed, as well as some other Hungarian sources related to municipal law (especially the Opus Tripartitum). The analysis of these sources suggests that in spite of the absence of the superficies solo cedit principle as a visible rule, all disputable things related to the connection of a plot of land and a movable property or a construction are consequently solved by the unity of the property of such a plot of land and a thing connected to it. Such a solution can also be found especially in cases like constructions or other objects on a rented plot of land, but also in some other cases, like a flight of a hive to another plot of land. Conclusions formulated in this study are collected mostly from the area of the Žilina law or the tavernical law, but in contrast, such solutions are not to be found in the Bratislava law or in other towns. This fact is probably caused by the lower urbanization level of Žilina in contrast with Bratislava and in the density of constructions of these areas. By higher density of construction we can presume the lower level of constructing on such rented plots of land. If we can find such examples from the town code of Žilina, it is possible to generalize this for other towns, too.

The fate of the so-called Old Rectory in Žilina, situated next to the monumental Church of the Holy Trinity, was emotionally charged, controversial and, in the end, very sad. The Rectory’s architecture and construction reflected both the needs of its various owners, and many of the dramatic events that had affected the city throughout its history. Despite repeated damage by fire, the faith community always found the strength and energy to restore the building and bring it back to life. Up until 1989, the Rectory was an integral part of the community’s spiritual life, and even after then, its upper storey continued to serve as the Church’s pastoral centre and a meeting place for Christian youth activities, while the ground floor housed the city’s Tourist Information Board and a popular restaurant. The Rectory was declared a national cultural monument in 2008, just as a developer was taking an interest in the site on which it stood. At this point, the local Church authorities decided it was not worthy of salvation and swiftly lodged an appeal against the decision to protect it, downplaying the building’s historical and architectural value, suggesting that since its original Late Medieval/ Early Modern features had been lost to fire 1678, the current building, reconstructed in 1777, was of no significant value. While a decision on the appeal was still pending, the Rectory was demolished, in the middle of Saturday night, July 12, 2008. The ground on which it stood was completely excavated within a week, allowing no possibility of recovery archaeological research. Eventually, a shopping centre was built over the place it once stood. This article discusses the controversial processes that led to the building’s abrupt demolition, and explores the failure to bring charges against those responsible for its destruction, which took place contrary to the Monuments Act.

The paper deals with the notion law area, which named hierarchically detached territorial space. By restriction of a certain territory (property, area), there is developing a need to take care of it. Since such an area was a property of someone, it was closely connected with the term violation of the house freedom. Quoted terms (notions) of law occur in Žilina’s translation of Magdeburg Law, which was dated to the year 1473. Nevertheless, translation into the Old Slovak Language was often not quite adequate.
