Manor houses Trebatice

You will find a unique Neoclassical manor house dating back to the 18th century in the village of Dolná Krupá, in the Trnava district. A spacious English park is an integral part of the manor house. Enjoy a romantic walk in this enchanting setting. Explore the exhibition spaces of the manor house and take a look into the past. It is ideal to confirm your tour in advance by phone.

Upon entering, the fountain in the courtyard of the manor house will catch your eye. The manor house is considered the most beautiful example of rural Neoclassical architecture in Slovakia. Its owners at the time, the Brunswick family, made not only the manor house famous, but also the village of Dolná Krupá through their artistic collections of paintings, books, and minerals. The manor house even featured a theater building. The Brunswicks were lovers of art and music. Ludwig van Beethoven himself taught their daughters to play the piano right inside the manor house. Due to his non-noble origin, the composer stayed in a garden house rather than with the nobility in the main house. The Ludwig van Beethoven Memorial is part of the garden. During the tour of the manor house, you will also take a look into the music museum.

The Brunswick family, and later the Chotek family, was the last to experience the great glory of the manor house. This opulent residence, where high society used to gather, began to decline from the time of World War I. The aforementioned park once enjoyed great popularity for its flora. Among the last to reside in the manor house, until the mid-20th century, was Countess Maria Henrietta Chotek, who created a magnificent rose garden in the park that was the largest in Central Europe. The original park also featured three lakes. Unfortunately, only the original torso is preserved today. The manor house has undergone an extensive reconstruction, which delights not only the residents of Dolná Krupá.

Take advantage of this beautiful setting and surroundings, which offer opportunities for walks and outdoor activities.

If you visit Nitrianska Blatnica, be sure to come and view the landmark of the village. The Renaissance manor house located in its northern part. If you have more time, we definitely recommend visiting this interesting attraction.

The village in which it is located has a rich history. It was made famous mainly by archaeological discoveries from the era of the Great Moravian Empire. The foundations of Kaštieľ v Nitrianskej Blatnici were created as early as 1569, when Ladislav Zeleméry built a curia here. In 1583, with the permission of King Rudolf, it was rebuilt into a fortified manor house with two fortified bastions, which was intended to serve as a refuge from Turkish raids. After later, mainly Renaissance and Baroque rebuilds, the manor house lost its fortress character and acquired the form of a luxurious manor residence.

After the Zeleméry family, several noble families became owners of the manor house. Let us mention at least the more prominent ones: the Dóczy, Esterházy, and Leonhardy families. It is precisely after the last owners that the manor house still bears its name today. After World War II, Leonhardovský kaštieľ served as a convalescent center for war veterans. Later, it also housed a school, a cinema, the municipal office, and the headquarters of an agricultural cooperative. Unfortunately, after 1989, gradual devastation of the manor house occurred. The current owner is gradually reconstructing it. In 2008, it received a new roof, and minor masonry work was also carried out. Despite this, the manor house is inaccessible to the public, and you can only admire it from the exterior. We believe that this national cultural monument will soon acquire a dignified appearance and will also serve the development of tourism.

In addition to the manor house, visitors can also view the extensive nearby park, which is designed in an English landscape style. It represents an undisturbed place for romantic walks and relaxation. Come and marvel at the beauty of ancient trees and draw peace and energy provided by a walk through the tangle of paths beneath their crowns.

Other interesting places are also located in the surroundings of the village. Perhaps the nearby Rotunda sv. Juraja will catch your attention with its appearance and history. Or will the view from Rozhľadňa na Marháte captivate you instead? We definitely recommend history lovers to visit the interesting Archeologické múzeum Veľkej Moravy v Bojnej. Ranč pod Babicou in Bojná with its adjacent pond will, in turn, appeal to those who enjoy good food and countryside life.
