Galanta

You are surely among the fans of history as well. If so, go back in time with us and visit the Vlastivedné múzeum v Galante . Discover with us the history of the Galanta district, which lies in the middle of the Podunajská nížina. The museum is located in an ancient building right next to the Rímskokatolícky kostol and the parish office.

The Vlastivedné múzeum v Galante was established on April 1, 1969. The first impulse for its creation came from local teachers, who led a local history club at that time. From 1970 to 1986, the museum was housed in the Neogotický kaštieľ manor house. In 2014, it moved to new premises of a former bank in the town center. In the museum building, you can view 8 permanent exhibitions. The first exhibition is titled Mestská bytová kultúra and presents a collection of historical furniture from the late 19th to the early 20th century. The displayed pieces represent the living style of the so-called upper social class.

In the room Sakrálne pamiatky, items with religious themes that once formed part of church furnishings will catch your interest. The exhibition Tradičná ľudová kultúra galantského regiónu presents an ethnological collection of the way of life in the surrounding microregions: Šoporňa, Pata, Abrahám, Veľký Grob, and Slovenský Komlóš. The displayed objects originate from the fields of traditional folk clothing, folk crafts, and home production.

Perhaps the most interesting room is Lekáreň, whose furnishings come from a family pharmacy in Bratislava dating back to 1909. The exhibition consists of numerous small bottles and containers of various shapes and sizes that once served in the production of pharmaceuticals. Laboratory tools and pharmacy scales are also located here, and diplomas of local pharmacists and doctors hold an honorable place as well.

In the smallest section, Výtvarní umelci regiónu, you will find 11 paintings by the painter Anton Dubrovský, a native of Šoporňa. The historical exhibition Mlyny a mlynárske remeslo deals with the development of milling in the area of the Malý Dunaj river and the lower reach of the Váh river, from its beginnings up to the end of the 20th century.

Archeologická lokalita Gáň-Brakoň. That is the name of the exhibition in which you will see finds from the ancient settlement of this region. Vessels and fragments of various tools date from the Neolithic period and the Late Bronze Age. The last stop is the Numizmatická výstava exhibition, located in a former vault room. Here you can inspect coins from the reign of Franz Joseph I as well as coins originating from Šintavský hrad.

In addition to permanent exhibitions, the Vlastivedné múzeum manages 9 branch exhibitions: Dom ľudového bývania Matúškovo, Vodný kolový mlyn Jelka, Vodný kolový mlyn Tomášikovo, Renesančný kaštieľ Galanta, Dom ľudového bývania Veľké Úľany, Mestské múzeum v Seredi, Múzeum Veľká Mača, Expozícia v Dome ľudového bývania v Šali, and Expozícia v Dome ľudového bývania v Žihárci.

The Vlastivedné múzeum keeps up with the times and always lures its visitors with new, interesting exhibitions. No wonder it won the Museum of the Year award in 2014. After this successful excursion, head to the historical center and taste the specialties of local restaurants.

You can spend the end of the day with a pleasant walk around the Vodná nádrž Kráľová. If you plan to spend a few days in the Považie region, book your stay now.

Vodný mlyn Tomášikovo

Vodný mlyn Tomášikovo

Tomášikovo

In the beautiful environment of a floodplain forest, only 2 km from the village of Tomášikovo, in Southern Slovakia, you will find an architectural gem, Vodný kolový mlyn. In 1893, it was built by the miller János Maticza and has been preserved in its original state to this day. It is located at the confluence of the Malý Dunaj and Suchý potok. Tomášikovský vodný mlyn is an external exhibition of the Vlastivedné múzeum v Galante.

The wooden millhouse building features a shingle roof and a large paddle driving wheel with a diameter of 7 meters. Its structure stands on original acacia stilts. Inside, you will find an original interior with photographs as well as an authentic miller's room with a wooden plank bed, a slit window, and a small table. The interior also houses milling tools and sacks in which ground flour and grain were stored.

The mill ground flour for a respectable 67 years, almost 20 hours every day. An interesting fact is that in 1940 a dynamo was installed in it, and thanks to this, it also operated on electric drive. Did you know that it is one of the few preserved watermills in Slovakia with operational mill machinery?

In 1982, it was restored and today serves as a technical monument of folk milling in Southern Slovakia. You can reach it from the bank via a wooden footbridge. Located near it is a popular paddlers' campsite.

After this pleasant excursion, you can stay on the bank, lay out a blanket, pull out a picnic basket full of treats, and enjoy precious moments with your family.

Vodný mlyn Jahodná

Vodný mlyn Jahodná

Jahodná

During your visit to the village of Jahodná in the Dunajská Streda district, you cannot miss the view of the Roman Catholic Church of Saint Peter and Paul. However, the village was also known for milling, which was reflected in the lives of the inhabitants who built an interesting water mill here on the adjacent parts of the Malý Dunaj.

On the calm surface of the Malý Dunaj river with its constant water flow, a total of 11 mills were built. Only 4 have survived to the present day. One of them is the wheel water mill in Jahodná, which has been restored and declared a technical monument of folk milling.

One of the main components of human nutrition was grain and grain products. These were processed in this area by grinding in water mills. Looking at this structure, you will find that it is a single-story brick building. It was built around 1920. Due to a lack of financial resources, the mill had to be sold to a new owner, namely Západoslovenské energetické závody. That is also why it is not accessible to the general public today.

The mill is among the sought-after attractions of this village. You can reach it via a cycling loop that starts and ends in Dunajská Streda. Its length is 57 km, including a stop at this mill. The second way to visit this place is by floating along the educational trail that starts in Tomášikovo. The loop is 10 km long. Along this route, you will also see another water mill in Tomášikovo.

The environment is peaceful and thus mainly attracts the attention of tourists who need relaxation in nature. Some choose a slightly more adventurous program and do not hesitate to pitch their tent near the mill. At night, it is beautiful to observe the sky studded with glowing stars. However, it is more pleasant to spend your stay in accommodation at the water mill Jahodná.

Not everyone can appreciate the beauty of such a unique structure. That is why many visitors choose one of the other leisure options for their program. Riding at the Czajlik ranch is among the favorites. During hot summer days, you can cool your sun-heated bodies in the Thermal park Dunajská Streda. In addition to swimming pools, you will also find a number of attractions, wellness, or a lake with a rich offer of water sports. Cat lovers will be pleased by the opportunity to visit Malkia Park, which is a sanctuary for abused and unwanted animals.

We believe that you will fully enjoy your stay by the water mill in this village. You can make it special by accommodation in chalets in Jahodná, which offer sufficient privacy even for larger groups of guests. Alternatively, book one of the comfortable apartments, from where you will have the opportunity to set out for other attractions in Jahodná. We will be happy to help you choose the best accommodation on our website.

Seredský kaštieľ

Seredský kaštieľ

Sereď

Come and take a look at the remnants of history reaching into the present at the Seredský kaštieľ in Sereď. It is a classical mansion that stands on the former Šintavský hrad. Today, it ranks among national cultural monuments that you certainly should not miss when visiting Sereď.

The history of this mansion is interesting. Originally a medieval castle from the 17th century, it was transformed into a Renaissance fortress and later a mansion. The history of the mansion connected with the castle thus dates back to the 11th century, when its foundation was merely a multi-story prismatic tower. Over time, the castle was transformed and expanded with new parts. If you had lived at that time, you would certainly have been interested in the entrance gate with a tower and a drawbridge across the moat. Even though the castle fortifications were gradually dismantled and the moats filled in, the overall atmosphere will surely charm you.

Over the course of three centuries, the four-bastion fortress changed into a Baroque mansion, which was later rebuilt in the classical style. It must have been wonderful to stroll through the summer salon, the library salon with over a thousand book titles, the countess's dressing room, the silver room, or the playroom. A total of 14 rooms and the corridors of the mansion were truly opulent for that time. The surroundings of the mansion were practically made for walks, as there was a well-maintained English park located here. The use of the mansion by German soldiers during World War II, its devastation by the Russian army, or the completion of the destruction by local residents left damage on this monument.

Mostly during summer and cultural events, you can visit the premises of the Seredského kaštieľa. At other times, it is only possible by agreement with the city employees. The mansion is currently in the hands of the city, which is trying to restore this monumental monument. Even the councilors decided that it would be a pity not to use the premises, which is why exhibitions, concerts, or other events are occasionally held here. Mostly this is in the area, not inside the building. You might manage to visit such an event and need to book suitable accommodation near the Seredského kaštieľa in advance.

In Sereď, you will find many ways to spend time together. A chill runs down your spine at the Múzeu holokaustu. However, it is good to show young people what happened in the past. Perhaps right after such an experience, you will head to clear your head at the Plaváreň ZŠ Juraja Fándlyho. Water has very positive effects on the human body, and in combination with sports, you will do something beneficial for your body.

Do not worry about not finding accommodation in Sereď. It is a relatively large town that provides multiple accommodation facilities. You might be interested in a small wooden cottage in the nearby cottage settlement. Much more space for accommodation is provided by the Sereď hostels. Think about the fact that it is important to choose the right type of accommodation and spend a great stay connected with a visit to the mansion.

Vodný mlyn Dunajský Klátov

Dunajský Klátov

When visiting the Podunajský región region, you can also stop in the village of Dunajský Klátov. It will charm you not only with its picturesque nature, but also with an interesting technical monument in the outskirts of the village, which is an old watermill. It is located right on the bank of the Klátovské rameno of the Malý Dunaj.

This cultural historical monument is a typical example of an undershot watermill. It was converted into its current form in 1920. The mill was still functional in the 1940s. 10 years later, a new bridge was built in the area, and the water to the mill was diverted to the side. The mill thus lost its original function. However, in the 2nd half of the 1980s, the state purchased the mill and declared the surrounding area a protected area with several protected plant and animal species. It was opened to the public only in 1987. In 2016, it underwent another complete reconstruction. An exhibition of water milling with original equipment was subsequently set up on its premises.

And what does this mill look like today? Imagine a two-story building with a gabled roof. The millhouse building is brick, and the wheel together with the drive system are located in a wooden extension. This facility consists of a mill wheel, which forms the drive system. This is followed by the transmission and working systems. During your visit to this place, take note of the industrial metal windows as well.

Visit this place and, in addition to the watermill, enjoy the pier with a view of the calm water surface. In the village, you can also take a walk to the Roman Catholic chapel and quiet yourself in prayer beside it. Do not miss the opportunity to go horseback riding at Czajlik Ranch either. As part of your itinerary, you can go see other watermills located in the surrounding area. On hot summer days, you can relax in the pools of Thermalpark Dunajská Streda. You can also entertain your children with a visit to Malkia Park, which is home to big cats.

When exploring the region, it is good to think about how you will end your evening. You can head either home or to accommodation near the watermill in Dunajský Klátov. In our offer of accommodation facilities on our website, we have beautiful rooms in guesthouses. Located on the riverbank are also stunning cottages in Dunajský Klátov.
