Topoľčianky fort and castle

The pride of the municipality of Topoľčianky, in western Slovakia at the foot of the Tribeč Mountains, is a vast English park with a picturesque neoclassical fort, which is the southern wing of an older chateau. At the beginning of the 19th century, the then owner the Count Johann Keglevich had the south wing demolished in Renaissance style and built in its place a Classicist wing, which is considered one of the most beautiful and pure architectural representations of Classicism in Slovakia. In the past, the castle was the summer residence of the Habsburgs, and after the First World War it was the summer residence of the presidents. The last major reconstruction of the three Renaissance wings of the whole object took place during this period. The neo-classical palace wing gradually became a museum. Its visitors can admire an extensive library with over 14 thousand volumes, which is one of the few preserved castle libraries in Slovakia.
