Renesančný kaštieľ rodiny Ghýczy, Národná kultúrna pamiatka
About This Museum
Tucked away in the quiet village of Nové Sady, the Ghýczy family's Renaissance manor feels less like a museum and more like stepping directly into a noble family's storybook. Its walls have witnessed everything from lavish celebrations to hushed political intrigues over the centuries. What truly sets it apart is how intimately it’s preserved the spirit of its original inhabitants; you can almost hear the rustle of silk gowns on the grand staircase. It’s a rare, unpolished gem that offers a genuine glimpse into Slovakia's manorial past.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the family's personal library, filled with beautifully bound volumes and handwritten correspondence that reveals their intellectual pursuits. The main hall boasts an original, ornately painted wooden ceiling that will make you crane your neck for a better look. You'll also find portraits of the Ghýczy lineage gazing down, their stories told through their fine clothing and stoic expressions.
Visitor Information
Pop by any day but Monday—it's their day for rest and preservation work. The staff are wonderfully knowledgeable locals who love to share anecdotes you won't find on any placard. Just be sure to check their seasonal hours online before you make the trip out.
Architecture & Building
The building is a classic example of Slovak Renaissance manor architecture, characterized by its simple yet dignified rectangular layout, a graceful arched loggia on one side, and a steep, hipped roof that dominates the silhouette.
