Come and enjoy the beauty of Budmerický kaštieľ manor house, which is located in the village of Budmerice and ranks among the landmarks of this village. This is not only thanks to its stunning appearance, but also due to the wonderful 19th-century English park. Every year, it is visited not only by locals, but also by foreign tourists.

This beautiful manor house was built by Count Ján Pálffy together with his wife. The count was a hunting enthusiast, so the manor house originally served mainly for these purposes. The manor house itself draws from several architectural styles. It was inspired mainly by the French Renaissance. Although the exterior resembles older artistic styles, the interior was adapted to the living requirements of the modern era of that time. An interesting feature is that it includes a dumbwaiter, central heating, and numerous staircases.

Locals experienced unique feelings even back then during a stroll through the English park. In its vicinity, Count Pálffy had a chapel built dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes. A legend is tied to the manor house, in which the count fell in love with a French comtesse. He wanted to transform his two residences into the style of French châteaux and then marry her. By the time he succeeded, the young lady was reportedly already married.

After the count's death, the manor house turned into a center of social life, where his son Pavol organized various gatherings and hunts. After World War II, the manor house was looted, subsequently passed into the hands of the state, and is currently managed by the Ministry of Culture.

The landmark of the village once belonged to the noble Erdődy family. Their residence underwent a major reconstruction in the 18th century, transforming from the original Renaissance manor house into a Baroque one. It has preserved this appearance to this day. The furnishings of the manor house were truly opulent. Ján Erdődy, president of the Hungarian Royal Chamber, furnished the manor house and its surroundings in luxury to honor the visit of the monarch Maria Theresa. During her visit, he hosted a magnificent ball, fireworks, and hunting parties. Later in the 19th century, the Pálffy family took over the residence. The manor house and its surroundings acquired a new look with the addition of an English park featuring rare plants, a promenade, and allegorical statues.

The exposition of the regional museum consists of three parts: historical, paleontological, and speleological. In addition to the exposition, you have the opportunity to look inside the manor house premises. The spacious cellars served as storage for large quantities of wine. Malokarpatská galéria, located in the northern pavilion, has a versatile focus.
