Lozorno (Hungarian: Lozornó) is a village and municipality in western Slovakia in Malacky District in the Bratislava region. Lozorno lies near the western slopes of the Small Carpathians in the southern Záhorská lowlands. In the center of the village is the Church of St. Catherine of Alexandria, which dates from 1629. The village is also home to old monument statues of St. Florian and St. John of Nepomuk.
Above the village there is a lake which emerges from a "Dry Creek" through the village. Every year Lozorno residents or neighbors from surrounding villages gather to engage in fishing pursuits. Above this water reservoir is a trail that leads through the Little Carpathians in Košariská, which belongs to the municipality.
Lozorno has several restaurants and pubs as well as a three-star hotel that provides accommodation and restaurant services.[citation needed]
