Manor house (Kaštieľ) in Koplotovce in western Slovakia. Originally built as a Renaissance fortress, the property was transformed into a Classical manor house in the 18th century. Original architectural elements including portals, Classical columns, vaulted ceilings and distinctive corner towers have been preserved.
The main building with bastion contains 18 rooms suitable for different uses. The layout allows for private living areas, reception rooms, studios, guest accommodation or additional facilities such as wellness areas. A detached bastion has already been converted into an independent apartment.
The estate includes several historic auxiliary buildings. The curia (a small manor house) requires renovation; an approved conservation project and a completed architectural survey are available. A traditional barrel-vaulted cellar runs beneath the full length of the main building.
The former granary has been partly renovated. An approved project for conversion into guest accommodation is available. The building has two floors and an unconverted attic level.
The park with mature trees and swimming pool provides private outdoor areas and scope for further landscaping.
Koplotovce is located approximately 6 km from Hlohovec and 15 km from Piešťany. The D1 motorway is around 10 minutes away, providing access to Bratislava in approximately one hour. Vienna and Brno can both be reached in around 90 minutes, while Budapest is approximately 158 km to the south-east.
The region is known for its thermal springs. A natural mineral spring in Koplotovce maintains a constant temperature of 25°C and supplies the local thermal pool.
During the 19th century, the manor house was a meeting place for intellectuals. The Slovak poet Ján Hollý stayed here several times as a guest of the Kochanovský family in the lower bastion. Two of his works, “Na Ambruša Kochanovského” and “Na včelín Eduarda Kochanovského”, refer to this location.
