Schaubmar Mill

Why visit

The mill on the Cajlanský stream in Pezinok was built by the Pálffy family in the 18th century and later bought by the Schaubmar family, who gave it its name. Milling stopped in the mid-20th century, and the Slovak National Gallery took over the site in the 1970s.

The gallery kept both the buildings and the technology, so the visit combines an intact mill with exhibitions of modern and contemporary art and design.

What to see

• The mill: a permanent exhibition around the preserved machinery, including the roller mill installed in the early 20th century
• Exhibitions: short-term shows of modern and contemporary art and design in the mill building
• The farm buildings: former barns, stables and workshops adapted for cultural use
• Orchard and café: a fruit orchard, the gallery café and a bookshop

Plan your visit

Admission is paid and covers the permanent and current exhibitions; programmes for families and schools run through the year. The grounds are step-free, but the mill building is not.

Dogs on a lead are welcome, and free parking is limited. Allow one to two hours and combine the visit with Pezinok’s wineries.
