Betliar Manor
A manor house with its original furnishings, a library and an extensive English park — about 10 minutes' drive from Ubytovanie KRAS.
About the Manor
One of the Few Manors with Original Furnishings
Betliar is about a ten-minute drive from us and it is one of the few manor houses in Slovakia that survived with its original furnishings intact — the library, the paintings, the hunting trophies and the collections the Andrássy family gathered from all over the world. Nothing was brought in from elsewhere; it simply stayed where it was.
The interior tour leads through the state rooms, a library of more than twenty thousand volumes and the family's collections of curiosities from their travels. The manor is run by the Slovak National Museum, and tours are guided.
Around the Manor
The English Park
A large English-style landscape park surrounds the manor, with a waterfall, gazebos and ponds — one of the finest historical parks in the country. You can usually walk in the park without taking the interior tour, so it works as a simple stroll too.
