History
A first written mention Panovce learned in 1274, when King Ladislaus IV the village were two sons of the house of Aba fief. This shared ownership 1301 on. Already in 1317 there was a first parish church, which belonged to the Archdiocese of Esztergom- Budapest. Two years later she was under the Archdiocese of Eger. Parts of the village belonged to this time as well Hodkovce and the non-existent Rozpút to church today semsa. In the 30s of the 14th century there were frequent disputes between the Aba family and immediate neighbors. After the death of the local rule Panovce fell into the sphere of influence of the monastery Jasov. The territorial disputes did not end until 1390, when Panovce the Vorwerk Seleška lost Čečejovce.
1427 there were 29 farms in Panovce, which has a population of 145 corresponds to an average of five persons per yard.
According to the historian Branislav Varsik (1904 - 1994) is the oldest recorded place name - Paan - Slovak origin and comes from the Old Slavic Pan ( = Latin Dominus or Lord German ).
In the 13th century the advance of the Hungarian-speaking population to the north began. The Hungarians soon populated the entire Ida lowlands, which was Magyarised in the 15th century as largely. North of Panovce, at the foot of the Slovak Ore Mountains, this migration came to a halt - the mountain regions remained predominantly slowakischsprachig. In the second half of the 16th century there was because of the threat of Turkish wars to a second Hungarian immigration wave. In the first half of the 17th century Panovce was completely Magyarised. From this period the Reformed Church dates. After 1720, there was an opposite movement of population from north to south - Slovak immigrants populated Hungarian villages. In 1851 there were in Panovce 815 ( mostly Slovak ) Catholics, 107 ( Hungarian ) Calvinists and Protestants and 71 Jews.
