Places of Interest
The first inscription about the village originates from the year 1321 where the village is mentioned as a community belonging to castle county on a hill above the village (ruin), further at Hrádok hill in the village there can be seen a basement of former guard castle with a beautiful view of the Isthmus of Strečno. In the terrier Konské should occur a fossil reminding of man footprint but this area is no more to be identified after some inadequate human interventions in the past. Across Sklabinský Podzámok, Turčianska Štiavnička, Podhradie, Konské, Nolčovo had passed a post way and in Konské had been a horse stage.
