In Modra, it is said that the emblem of the Ottoman Empire on the tower was intended to confuse the enemy army and discourage it from plundering the city, saying that the city was already in Turkish hands. The second version of the interpretation of the unusual phenomenon of the end of the tower sounds different. The double cross on a crescent moon with a star at the top of the tower is apparently intended to symbolize the defeat of the Ottoman troops, the liberation of Hungary and the victory of Christianity over Islam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Either way, the tower was once part of the city&#039;s defensive fortifications and today it has merged with the Church of St. Stephen the King. The old dominant of Modra from the 17th century has 6 floors and a height of 55 m. You can look at the city from the gallery and see the hidden beauty of Modra - the surrounding courtyards with magical courtyards, gardens that end with walls, vineyards and the Little Carpathians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the photo: Tereza H\u00faskov\u00e1, Krist\u00edna Slov\u00e1kov\u00e1, Lucia Michal\u00edkov\u00e1 from the Eva Jaczov\u00e1 Dance Conservatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lookout tower in Sv\u00e4t\u00fd Jur<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1068\" src=\"https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/60011449_2281316815475282_4115839384203296768_n-1600x1068.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/60011449_2281316815475282_4115839384203296768_n-1600x1068.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/60011449_2281316815475282_4115839384203296768_n-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/60011449_2281316815475282_4115839384203296768_n-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/60011449_2281316815475282_4115839384203296768_n-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/60011449_2281316815475282_4115839384203296768_n-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/60011449_2281316815475282_4115839384203296768_n-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/60011449_2281316815475282_4115839384203296768_n-1618x1080.jpg 1618w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/60011449_2281316815475282_4115839384203296768_n-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/60011449_2281316815475282_4115839384203296768_n.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A bird&#039;s-eye view of the picturesque town&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Sv%C3%A4t%C3%BD-Jur-112513548761315\/?__tn__=kK*F\">Sv\u00e4t\u00fd Jur<\/a>&nbsp;at sunset with a glass of good wine.

From grapes from their own vineyards, from varieties that belong to Slovakia and in their own cellars. The sensitive reconstruction of the original 13th-century water castle and the medieval cellars in the underground will amaze you. The oldest barrel is from 1807, where Saint Leopold is depicted. Other barrels have the coats of arms of the owners and portraits of the holy apostles. The extensive cellars now house the Museum of Winemaking and you will find objects and tools with which our ancestors worked in the vineyard. Large and small old presses for the initial processing of grapes, ingenious filters for cleaning musts, or ancient wine bottling machines. The castle reopens its doors after extensive renovations, including the luxurious Palace Art Hotel, the Katar\u00edna P\u00e1lffy Golden Hall, and a beautifully renovated chapel.

The Potters&#039; Guild in Modra was founded in 1636 and the first Ceramic Industrial School in 1883. Ceramics from Modra and the Modra Ceramic Workshop were a household name in Hungary. Today, Modra majolica and majolica ornamentation are included in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Slovakia. Each piece of majolica is hand-turned, fired and painted by master ceramicists. Modra majolica is once again becoming a sought-after and fashionable item in the modern world. It is part of design and urban markets as well as traditional pottery markets. Slovak Folk Majolica, which has been producing traditional ceramics for 136 years, recently launched a new design collection of traditional majolica called &quot;Shortcuts&quot; and three new collections of utility majolica &quot;Bordeaux Leaf, Violet Ear and Blue Feather.&quot; You can order this majolica beauty in the e-shop.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.majolikamodra.sk%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1gSEikYcMZIr4v-R83nTIqMhRj-ek_of64V0Hs6Z4v3gj3a_QiSf7rHEA_aem_OaN5MRLKu06yfJv3pwbLOQ&amp;h=AT1dt466ciJhfz9CqAXvsVDfe4f6zHJeWgECkSc6zUjZK1Am0692fGEEn1RpE9yeS8ywF4-aTtmZlaON-PeKcrdkfwLZqeE6wRfSi84JR1b_e8JADFC-atomjDmWYL1U7JMYjvka7dI-oOkI&amp;__tn__=-UK*F\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.majolikamodra.sk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the photo are S\u013dUK members Veronika Pr\u00edbulov\u00e1 and Tom\u00e1\u0161 Hus\u00e1r.

It was built for an incredible 36 years (1610-1646). The structure consisted of three entrance gates: Upper, Lower and Vienna, along with two defensive bastions - the northern and southern. They were cylindrical four-story towers, or rotundas, that rose at the highest points of the city walls. The bastions served as control points of the defensive fortification. From them, you could see the wide surroundings and the access roads to the city gates. Of the original fortification, the Upper Gate has been preserved - today various exhibitions are held in its space, and the northern Bastion, which houses the Ign\u00e1c Bizmayer Gallery. You will find a representative selection of works by this top representative of figurative ceramic creation in Slovakia.

The left part of the interesting building in the Gothic style from the 14th or 15th century is set into a rock massif, so a large rock fills the space under the wooden choir of the church. Inside is a Baroque altar with a statue of St. Leonard and a relief of the Coronation of the Virgin Mary. Part of the building is a cave and a chapel, which were built sometime after 1645 from behind perpendicular to the original church. On the hill above the church is the Stations of the Cross made of red and yellow glazed bricks, which leads you to Calvary from 1738. Calvary is made up of a group of three stone crosses. The middle one depicts the crucified Jesus and the two side ones depict crucified criminals. The place has a special atmosphere. In the distant past, hermits lived near the church. The last of them was a certain Remigius of Moravia, who was seen here until 1759.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the photo Victoria Zinovieva, a member of the SND Ballet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alexander Fil\u00edpek lookout<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1068\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/66744252_2329411510665812_6850183184525557760_n-1068x1600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/66744252_2329411510665812_6850183184525557760_n-1068x1600.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/66744252_2329411510665812_6850183184525557760_n-534x800.jpg 534w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/66744252_2329411510665812_6850183184525557760_n-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/66744252_2329411510665812_6850183184525557760_n-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/66744252_2329411510665812_6850183184525557760_n-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/66744252_2329411510665812_6850183184525557760_n-1200x1798.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/66744252_2329411510665812_6850183184525557760_n-721x1080.jpg 721w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/66744252_2329411510665812_6850183184525557760_n-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/66744252_2329411510665812_6850183184525557760_n-600x899.jpg 600w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/66744252_2329411510665812_6850183184525557760_n.jpg 1367w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1068px) 100vw, 1068px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to see the Little Carpathians in all their beauty, take an easy hike to Ve\u013ek\u00e1 Homola. At the top of the hill is a lookout tower over 20 meters high. The city of Modra renovated it last year and named it after the forest councilor Alexandr Fil\u00edpka, who was instrumental in building the Modra forest park and the establishment of the famous tourist resorts of Harm\u00f3nia and Piesok. There are 120 steps leading up to the tower, and from the platform on the very top you will have a circular view of the panorama of the Little Carpathians, Pova\u017esk\u00fd Inovec, Tribe\u010d and, if visibility is good, even the Austrian Alps. Historically, there has been a lookout tower on Ve\u013ek\u00e1 Homola since 1894. The new structure is a combination of wooden prisms and steel joints.

Just wander around the city and its surroundings with your eyes open. Families with children have become fond of the community garden at \u0160t\u00farov\u00e1 59. It is a pleasant urban space with wooden benches in the shade of trees, meadow grass, bushes, a trellis that covers part of the brick fence with climbing roses and clematis. The side stone wall depicts fairy tales on ceramic tiles by local master potters. Through the garden you can get from the city center to the historical walls. The city walls in Modra are over 400 years old. Of the original 2,300 meters, 1,680 meters have been preserved today, which the city is gradually renovating under the supervision of conservationists. The community garden is also a place for chamber concerts, performances, summer reading rooms and other cultural events, which it gives a unique atmosphere. On the last weekend of September, there will be an interesting program in the community garden during the Modransk\u00fd vintage:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F2Oaepw3%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR02Pq6P1pEjmlRKpm8J8KjXwFz7fedIvSbi8SEk9-4hW60n4kZI50ujqDA_aem_AngtV7kuPDfT1hh22Ip6xw&amp;h=AT39MQWdqFJh62ePAzyO0VBaJAITmW0SDsAim4HBFeIc4T94nBm7P3Qr3Hik3Sc4L9CzVDW-J8S9Jv2xixRUumYCU_cYQRGzTAIXI9WjwCGYOZGGPjI8l6cHyCcJ1Gs9EnbLJEaGNr5r6x0V&amp;__tn__=-UK*F\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2Oaepw3<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the photo, Andrej Szabo, first soloist of the SND Ballet, and Silvia Najden\u00e1, soloist of the SND Ballet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Castle<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1068\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/67339570_2338596796413950_6368330060557975552_n-1068x1600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/67339570_2338596796413950_6368330060557975552_n-1068x1600.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/67339570_2338596796413950_6368330060557975552_n-534x800.jpg 534w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/67339570_2338596796413950_6368330060557975552_n-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/67339570_2338596796413950_6368330060557975552_n-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/67339570_2338596796413950_6368330060557975552_n-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/67339570_2338596796413950_6368330060557975552_n-1200x1798.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/67339570_2338596796413950_6368330060557975552_n-721x1080.jpg 721w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/67339570_2338596796413950_6368330060557975552_n-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/67339570_2338596796413950_6368330060557975552_n-600x899.jpg 600w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/67339570_2338596796413950_6368330060557975552_n.jpg 1367w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1068px) 100vw, 1068px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you follow the blue tourist trail from Modra - Harmonia, or the red and then the blue trail from Zochov\u00e1 chata, you will be taken to Z\u00e1m\u010disko (468 m above sea level). From the hill there is a beautiful view of Modra, Pezinok and the Danube Uplands. This place is undoubtedly one of the most interesting archaeological sites in Modra. In the Iron or Hallstatt Age, around 700 BC, there was a fortified hillfort here. It had the shape of a 115-meter-long and 105-meter-wide regular horseshoe, which was flanked by defensive ramparts combined with a moat. The Z\u00e1m\u010disko hillfort probably took this form during the Great Moravian period and was last rebuilt in the 13th century, during the Hungarian period. The hillfort was used by the original &quot;Modranians&quot; as a refuge from the enemy in turbulent times. They felt safe in this place \u2013 after all, there are steep slopes on the west and east sides, and a vertical rock on the south. Easy access to the Chateau was only from the north side along the ridge. Several rare archaeological finds were found here: an iron knife and plowshare from the Great Moravian period, or a medieval hammer, flint, spur, sickle and other objects of our Slavic ancestors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the photo: Vikt\u00f3ria Purdekov\u00e1, Dorota Bystrianska, Viktor Vo\u0161ko and Dominik Luk\u00e1\u010d.

Its history is connected with the P\u00e1lffy family from 1583 to the Second World War. This important Hungarian family gradually rebuilt it into a representative residence with rich stucco and fresco decoration of the interiors. The castle currently houses a museum presenting the historical housing of the nobility. Part of the permanent exhibition is also a gem - a bronze sculpture of the Madonna and Child, which was created at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The author of the original sculpture is the Italian sculptor, painter, architect and poet, Michelangelo Buonarroti. Fencing festivals and falconry performances are organized in the castle grounds every year. The extraordinary atmosphere can be experienced during the nightly stage shows. The next one is on Saturday, August 10th - The Story of the Dead Bride.

The building, with elements of Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance styles, was designed by the Trnava architect Ign\u00e1c Feigler on the site of the original older and smaller Church of St. Barbara. The Church of St. Stephen the King has a three-nave, southwest-oriented layout on a rectangular ground plan with a recessed tower. In its interior you will find a magnificent altar with an oil painting of St. Stephen the King, rare older sculptures and paintings from the original furnishings of the Church of St. Barbara.

In the apiary on a small family farm in Vinosady, you can try it out with a professional beekeeper. And not only that. The farm raises sheep, exotic llamas, and camels. They process the wool from the animals and will be happy to show you the entire process, from shearing, combing, carding, spinning on a spinning wheel, and weaving on looms. We were surprised by a talking raven, and for the first time we saw the smallest type of horse, the Falabella, bred in Italy. On the farm, you can find a donkey, ostriches, geese, ducks, and chickens. You can try hand-milking goats. The owners use the milk to make goat cheese, yogurt, tzavroch, and \u017ein\u010dica. Ali farm organizes day camps focused on beekeeping and farming in the summer, and during the school year, school excursions and adventure tours for adults. If you are interested in visiting the farm, we recommend that you book in advance at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.alifarma.sk\/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1gSEikYcMZIr4v-R83nTIqMhRj-ek_of64V0Hs6Z4v3gj3a_QiSf7rHEA_aem_OaN5MRLKu06yfJv3pwbLOQ\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.alifarma.sk.<\/a>&nbsp;The owners are planning several new things: they are preparing sourdough courses so that guests can soon take home homemade bread from the farm, and the opening of an Api house intended for so-called apirestherapy - bee respiratory therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the photo: Dorota Bystrianska, Vikt\u00f3ria Purdekov\u00e1, Brigita Horv\u00e1thov\u00e1, Frederika Str\u00e1\u0148av\u010dinov\u00e1, Brigita Str\u00e1\u0148av\u010dinov\u00e1.

The local ECAV choir invests voluntary admission fees for events in the restoration of the building. The church had two predecessors, but both were destroyed by fire. The current one was built between 1833 and 1835. The neoclassical facade dates back to the 19th century. Right next to it stands the Slovak Evangelical Church in the classicist style from 1835. Both buildings represent an important period in the city, when a Protestant college existed here from 1648 and in the years 1741\u20131934 Modra was the seat of Protestant superintendents \u2013 bishops. Important German and Slovak figures worked here: Andreas Schmecker, Samuel Zoch, Du\u0161an Fajnor, Samuel \u0160tefan Osusk\u00fd and many others. Therefore, but also for family reasons, \u013dudov\u00edt \u0160t\u00far lived here from 1851 until his tragic death in 1856.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The photo shows Lenka Ben\u010di\u010dov\u00e1 and Peter Andel from the Eva Jaczov\u00e1 Dance Conservatory in Bratislava.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/renesancnydom?__tn__=-]K*F\">Renaissance House<\/a>&nbsp;in Sv\u00e4t\u00fd Jur<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1068\" src=\"https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/69464025_2361925780747718_2143904522903224320_n-1600x1068.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/69464025_2361925780747718_2143904522903224320_n-1600x1068.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/69464025_2361925780747718_2143904522903224320_n-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/69464025_2361925780747718_2143904522903224320_n-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/69464025_2361925780747718_2143904522903224320_n-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/69464025_2361925780747718_2143904522903224320_n-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/69464025_2361925780747718_2143904522903224320_n-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/69464025_2361925780747718_2143904522903224320_n-1618x1080.jpg 1618w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/69464025_2361925780747718_2143904522903224320_n-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/69464025_2361925780747718_2143904522903224320_n.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The oldest vine in Sv\u00e4t\u00fd Jur stretches along the wall of this historical gem. The history of the house dates back to the 15th century - the time of colonization under German law. It was originally a Gothic building with a high-lying apartment, shallow cellars and farm buildings in the yard. At the beginning of the 17th century, it underwent renovations in the Renaissance style, and was later renovated in the Baroque style. In the second half of the 20th century, it was reconstructed. The Renaissance house is a national cultural monument that occasionally serves the public as a cultural, artistic and wine-making center. The 500-year-old cellar of the house provides the perfect environment for the archive and maturation of spontaneously fermented natural wines. With a glass of wine in hand, you can experience a concert or a screening under the starry sky. Autumn is perfect for tasting young wine, baking fresh bread in a traditional oven or other wine and viticultural activities.

Thanks to the NGO &quot;Preservation of Church Monuments&quot; and the personal commitment of Katar\u00edna Machatov\u00e1, the dilapidated building has become a jewel of sacred architecture in the city, which last year received a public award for exemplary restoration. The national cultural monument stands in the silence of the cemetery at the end of the linden alley on Doln\u00e1 Street. The historic building from the Romanesque period (13th century) has undergone several structural modifications, and in the interior decoration you can find elements of Baroque and Early Gothic murals. The church also includes a Renaissance bell tower from the 17th century. Thanks to the restoration, today we can admire newly discovered medieval murals, which were restored together with stone elements, altars, pulpits, statues and paintings. During major church holidays, Catholic believers from Modra and the wider area gather in the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the photo: Vikt\u00f3ria Purdekov\u00e1, Dorota Bystrianska, Viktor Vo\u0161ko and Dominik Luk\u00e1\u010d.

It originally served as a hunting lodge. The architecture is based on Renaissance models of French chateaux. The surroundings are completed by a beautiful English park, near which is the Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes. After the death of Count P\u00e1lffy, his son Pavol, who had as many as 8 wives, became the heir to the mansion. One of them, Louise de Vilmorin, was the mistress of the famous Antoine de Saint-Exup\u00e9ry, the author of The Little Prince. After the emigration of the last owner in 1945, the mansion became state property and is listed in the Central List of Cultural Monuments. After extensive reconstruction in 2014, the mansion was partially put into operation. In the new year, it will be open to the public again as part of excursions and guided tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the photo Brigita Horv\u00e1thov\u00e1 and Dominik Luk\u00e1\u010d.

Originally an early Gothic Roman Catholic church from the 13th century, it stands out above the historic core of the city in the part that locals call Ne\u0161tich. Inside, you will be amazed by the Altar of St. George made of white sandstone from 1527. It depicts the saint as a rider in armor who kills a dragon with a sword, a symbol of paganism. St. George - an early Christian martyr was originally a Roman soldier and Christians worship him as the patron saint of soldiers, blacksmiths, peasants, travelers and miners. Even today, they believe that he will protect them from war and temptations. Other precious monuments in the church are the side altar of St. Bartholomew, the pulpit, the epitaph of Jakub Mordax and Kristof Gardani, a relief of the death of the Virgin Mary, a stone box with a relief of the adoration of the Three Kings. On the eastern wall of the side nave there is a painting depicting Bishop St. Erasmus. Wherever the eye looks, there is a historical gem. The oldest is the tomb (tombstone in the shape of a sarcophagus) of Count George III. from 1467. The tombstone features a relief of a knight - he has a pillow under his head and a lion lies under his feet. In his left hand he holds a sword and in his right a staff with a flag with the family coat of arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the photo Lenka Ben\u010di\u010dov\u00e1 and Peter Andel from the Eva Jaczov\u00e1 Dance Conservatory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chapel of St. Magdalene<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1068\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/75610892_2418357935104502_8355900170478551040_n-1068x1600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/75610892_2418357935104502_8355900170478551040_n-1068x1600.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/75610892_2418357935104502_8355900170478551040_n-534x800.jpg 534w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/75610892_2418357935104502_8355900170478551040_n-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/75610892_2418357935104502_8355900170478551040_n-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/75610892_2418357935104502_8355900170478551040_n-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/75610892_2418357935104502_8355900170478551040_n-1200x1798.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/75610892_2418357935104502_8355900170478551040_n-721x1080.jpg 721w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/75610892_2418357935104502_8355900170478551040_n-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/75610892_2418357935104502_8355900170478551040_n-600x899.jpg 600w, https:\/\/malekarpaty.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/75610892_2418357935104502_8355900170478551040_n.jpg 1367w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1068px) 100vw, 1068px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While wandering around the Zochova Chata, you will find places that are a reminder of the mountain people \u2013 the Huncokars. They were forest workers, coming from Lower Austria and Styria, who settled the area of the Little Carpathians from the mid-18th century. They took care of the manor forests in the P\u00e1lffy district and although they lived scattered in two or three families, a large group of this German-speaking population settled in the Modra \u2013 Piesok area. In 1876, they built the chapel of St. Magdalena, where they went to Holy Mass. The biggest holiday for them was January 22, the day of St. Vincent, the patron saint of lumberjacks. Until now, open-air services are held in the chapel in the summer months. The mountain settlement of the Huncokars in the Little Carpathians disappeared after 1945, when part of this population was deported to Germany. What remained of them was the only preserved Huncok\u00e1r cemetery in the Little Carpathians near Zochova Chata, where else but in the silence of the forest, which was their beloved home for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the photo, Brigita Str\u00e1\u0148av\u010dinov\u00e1 and Frederika Str\u00e1\u0148av\u010dinov\u00e1, dancers of S\u013dUK in Horehronsk\u00fd folk costume. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sandra.bencicova?__tn__=-]K*F\">Sandra Bencicova<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Come dance with us through the rest of the year through the tourist destinations, monuments and attractions of the Little Carpathians region. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8168,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[176,132,392,121,128,123,393],"class_list":["post-8158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-budmerice","tag-casta","tag-dolany","tag-modra","tag-pezinok","tag-svaty-jur","tag-vinosady"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Smiem prosi\u0165?
