Rimavská Sobota is a town located in western Slovakia along the Rimava River. It was first recorded in 1270 and was granted municipal rights in 1334. The name comes from the regular Saturday markets held there. The historic center contains the main square with streets radiating out. There are several churches of different denominations as well as historical monuments and the district authority building. The primary school is named after the Slovak writer Peter Kellner Hostinský and consists of four buildings for classrooms, a cafeteria, and gym, though it is currently under construction.
