It lies on the periphery of the Žitný Ostrov. Archeological findings give evidence of its settlement
from the times of Roman expansion (a part of Roman inscription on a milestone). The oldest written document
(German name of Kirbach) dates back to the years 1260-70, when it belonged to the Archibishop Annon of Ostrihom. In 1536 Podunajské Biskupice was considered a town. In 1972 it was connected to Bratislava. The Church of St. Nicolaus from the 13th century, the Neo-Baroque Church of St. Joseph from the 17th century and
classicistic Trinity column from 1730 belong to the most interesting historical monuments.
