The picturesque Turčianska Basin attracts tourist to its wealth, spa life, but it also has a lot to offer as regards to history too. Every village has its own unique historical character and its historical monument.

One of them stands in Diviaky - the district part of Turčianske Teplice. It is a Renaissance mansion built in the second half of the 17th century on the order of Francis Platthy. That is why this mansion is often called Platthy's house.   After the death of Francis, the manor house was reconstructed, which gave it a Baroque look. Its last owner was Count Pongrác. In 1946 the manor was nationalized.

Currently, the building serves as the depository office of the Slovak National Library. It is therefore not open to the public.

Visitors to the spa town, as well as tourists, can admire the charming exterior and beautifully landscaped surroundings of the mansion. If you are looking for a real hiking, the Greater Fatra National Park is just a step away.
