Betliar Manor House

The summer seat and hunting mansion of the Andrassy family, built in the classic style in the 19th century. There are 42 rooms containing bissare interiors and unique collections of exotic shapes and artistic artifacts (porcelain, hunters trophies, paintings, furniture a 4,000yr old Egyptian Mummie) from across the whole of the world. The property is surrounded by an English style park containing romantic architectures, exotic sculptures (a sitting Buddha), fountains and trees and plants. There is also a library with a bookcase containing more than 18,000 books. One of the most valuable scenes in the Gemer region.

The Betliar Museum is a specialised art-history museum oriented on the development of the residences of the aristocracy in the 18th and 19th centuries with the exhibition in the Betliar manor-house, a mediaeval castle exhibition at Krásna Hôrka and the Mausoleum in the Krásnohorské Podhradie. These attractive exhibitions are situated in the original historical buildings and premises and are among the most important monuments of Slovakia. The exhibits come to a large extent from the estate and collections of the Andrássy family, their former owners. The museum, in line with its specialisation, constantly supplements its collection. The Betliar Museum is situated in a national cultural monument – the former hunting manor-house of the Andrássy family, located in the extensive and romantic park in Betliar.
