Betliar Manor
Betliar, Slovakia
The Andrássy family’s hunting manor, kept with its original furniture, trophies and library, in a large English-style park that is free to stroll.
Betliar Manor (Kaštieľ Betliar) is a mansion of the noble Andrássy family in Slovakia. In the 17th and 18th centuries the building was converted into a three-storey house in Renaissance-Baroque style. From 1881 to 1886, under Count Emanuel I. Andrássy, it served mainly as a hunting seat and a museum for his collections; the alterations drew on English manor houses and French architecture. It is one of the few noble residences in Slovakia with its original furnishings.
Inside you will find a picture gallery, a music hall, a hunting hall and exotic collections. The library was founded in 1790 and holds more than 14,000 volumes. After the Second World War the estate was nationalised; it has been open to the public since 1953 and part of the Slovak National Museum since 1996.
The manor has an English landscape park of 57 hectares, one of the largest maintained parks in Slovakia, with an artificial grotto and a waterfall. The Andrássy castle of Krásna Hôrka is currently closed for reconstruction. Check opening hours and tours beforehand.
