Centuries full of stories
The history of the baroque-classicist Manor House in the middle of Mojmirovce village dates back to the 18th century and is associated with the house of Hunyadi, who moved to the then-called village Urmín after the end of the Turkish Wars. In 1721, Imrich Hunyadi had built a majestic manor house in the baroque style. Later on, after a fire, the Manor House was rebuilt in the classical style.
Park full of exotic plants
Part of the Hunyadi family estate was, in addition to the Manor House, an extensive park with lots of exotic trees, shrubs and plants, which in the following decades belonged to the most beautiful parks of Upper Hungary. A rarity was the Greenhouse - a botanical garden, which, unfortunately, did not survive to the present days.
Horse breeding and horse races
A true pride of the Hunyadi family was a horse-breeding farm, which breeds purebred Arabian, Italian and Spanish horses. In 1814, Joseph Hunyadi organized according to modern rules in Urmín the first public horse race in Austria-Hungary. On the 2600-meter long track raced 13 horses.
The seat of nobility was also a school building
The last descendants of the Hunyadi noble family departed from its seat in Mojmirovce after World War II. The manor house subsequently served for a variety of purposes, military barracks were set up, later flats for teachers, medical Offices, a pub, even a primary school. Since the late 60s, the building had only deteriorated.In 1974, the Manor House became the property of the Consumer cooperatives in Slovakia; after an extensive gradual restoration, it is now the seat of the Manor House Mojmírovce hotel ***, COOP Educational Institute, and the Mojmír Foundation.
Transformation into the hotel
Almost from the ruins of a former horse-breeding farm was built a stylish hotel and a convention center. The restored premises of the Manor House now house a restaurant, wine cellar and wine shop, several training rooms, suites and rooms, a relaxation center, and in the basement of the Manor House firing range for short guns.
Even now, the Manor House does not miss pompousness. It is surrounded by a beautiful English park with a renovated fountain and four-meter high oak statues of saints and patrons made by Marek Žitňan.
