Back to the areaA Baroque-Classicist manor house with a museum and a historic park right next to Soví dom.
This Baroque-Classicist manor house has been a national cultural monument since 1985, and Soví dom is situated directly within its grounds. Since 1962, the mansion has served as a museum: the art-historical exhibition showcases lavishly furnished salons with original furniture from the Koháry and Coburg families (including the Golden Salon), while the hunting exhibition is the largest of its kind in Slovakia – featuring game trophies, historic hunting weapons, paintings, and animal dioramas. The historic park and forest park are open to the public.
