Budmeric manor house

Budmerice

The list of castles on the Loire River is long, and the manor house in Budmericie would certainly fit into the scenery there - if its builder had not planned a different fate for it.

Count Ján Pálfi - otherwise a passionate hunter - had this structure planted in the nature under the Little Carpathians, which he loved so much. It was the 19th century, and the Pálf family had a strong position in the region. Their ancestral seat was located just a short distance from here - at the Červený Kameň Castle.

In the woods of picturesque Lindava, Ján Pálfi had a pheasant house built and for his beautiful, young future wife, Alžbeta Schlippenbachová, he had a mansion built in Budmericie. The project was developed for him by the Viennese architect Franz von Neumann, who was inspired by the romantic buildings on the banks of the Loire River. The mansion is surrounded by an impressive English park, the building itself is dominated by a high tower with a viewing passage and a clock in the gable. You enter through a monumental staircase above which are placed two unmistakable coats of arms. Together with the year of the wedding of Ján and Elžbeta, they alert visitors to who the mansion originally belonged to. The owners and their guests felt comfortable here thanks to the central heating, and the food they received on the table was also at a pleasant temperature. A special elevator took care of his quick and comfortable transfer from the kitchen. The last Pálfi owner of this fairytale residence was Count Pavol Pálfi, who turned it into a lavish center of social life. Then came World War II and when 1945 came and the war finally ended, the Czech-Slovak government confiscated the mansion and the count emigrated. 

Until 2011, the mansion served as the House of Slovak Writers. Currently, it is managed to be continuously repaired. During the tour, you can see interesting collection items, but none of the original equipment remains here.
