Description
One of the most valuable historical buildings in Slovakia is mansion standing in the beautiful environment of the forest park in Dubnica nad Váhom. The mansion, originally with a Renaissance core, was protected by a castle moat, and thus the building itself was capable of defense.
Over the centuries, Dubnica manor house had several owners. The first was Gašpar Illésházy, who began to build the manor house in the 1840s. The mansion was also rebuilt several times. At present, it houses the Dubnica Museum, the Municipal Information Center and the gallery.
Dubnica Museum has a local history, focusing on the mansion and the Illésházy family. In its collections, it includes portraits of prominent representatives of the Illésházy family and other owners of the Dubnica manor house.
A part of the museum is also a gallery in which local artistsand other people present their works. The representative rooms are furnished with collectors' items from various styles. Visitors can also admire the permanent exhibition, which is created by the works of artists from Dubnica.
In the beautiful surroundings of the J. B. Magin Park behind the mansion, you can see the so-called grotta of Dubnica. It is a building made of tuff and quarry stone consisting of an artificial cave and a lookout tower built of wood, which provides you a nice view.
