In historical records the village, which was made of two independent parts was first mentioned in 1208, although it was inhabited lot sooner, in the 9th century, as the Great Moravian site was discovered near the village. At the end of the 13th century, two village arose: Trlinka and Kučišdorf, which were closely linked to their bigger towns, Pezinok and Modra.
