Kaštieľ Modra
A restored manor house in Modra with a historic garden, changing art exhibitions and wines from the Little Carpathian Wine Salon.
Why visit
Kaštieľ Modra is a 17th-century manor house that its last aristocratic owner, Arthur Polzer, remodelled in the early 20th century. After a major renovation it has reopened as the cultural centre of the Little Carpathian region.
It brings wine and culture under one roof: exhibitions and workshops inside, events in the courtyard and garden, and the Little Carpathian Wine Salon presenting wines from the surrounding vineyards.
What to see
- Exhibitions: changing shows of painting, photography and folk culture in the restored rooms.
- Wine: a wine shop and the Little Carpathian Wine Salon with selected wines from the region.
- Garden: a historic park with an oval pond, a small island and geometric planting.
- Events: art workshops in the atelier, concerts and seasonal festivities in the courtyard and garden.
Plan your visit
Exhibitions change every few weeks, so check the programme before you go. Allow about an hour for the house and garden, longer if you stay for wine.
Modra’s historic centre is right outside, and the Little Carpathian vineyards begin a short walk from town.
