CULTURAL VISITS

Monday 10th, Tuesday 11th and Wednesday 12th September 2012

River Cruise with Wine Tasting and Buffet

The cruise on the Danube River is an opportunity to take a truly different view of Bratislava. During the sightseeing cruise, which will take the participants to the ruins of Devín Castle and to the confluence of the Danube and the Moravia rivers, you will get a special panoramic view of the Slovak capital from the deck of excursion boat.

Castle Červený Kameň

The first mention of the Castle Červený Kameň was in the first half of the 13th century. The castle was built at a request of Queen Konstancia Uhorska, the widow of the Czech king, on her own land before 1240. At the same time the castle got the name – Red Stone (Červený Kameň in Slovak, Rothenstein in German, Vorosko in Hungarian) or Beaver Castle.

The castle was originally held by the Crown and later passed into the ownership of Matúš Čák Trenčiansky and a number of families including Zapolski, Turzo and the counts of Svätý Jur and Pezinok. According to the heir ship the castle and estate passed from the hands of Queen Maria Habsburg, the wife of the Austria-Hungarian King Ludovit II Jagel to the Fugger family.

Anton Fugger, the head of the family decided to utilize the strategic position of Red Stone, situated close to Bratislava and Vienna and transform the old gothic castle into a safe storehouse for goods traded across the whole Europe. Since 1537 the castle was gradually demolished as to clear an area for construction of four defensive bastions connected with walls and a single residential wing. It was adapted for an effective protection of everything hidden in spacious storerooms (cells).As the business plans of the Fugger family grew weaker, due to an increasing danger of Turks´ attacks, they decided to sell the castle.

In 1588, the young Baron Mikulas II Palfi finally became the owner of the whole estate. Descendants of Mikulas took a hold over the estate until 1945. Thereafter, the castle was proclaimed a national cultural property.


The Primatial Palace

The Primatial Palace (1778-1781) was built on a property originally belonging to the archbishop of Esztergom. The facade of the palace is in strictly classical style. On the roof, there are allegorical statues by J. Kögler and F. Prokop, as well as vases by J. A. Messerschmidt. Atop the tympanum is the coat of arms of Cardinal Jozef Batthyányi, the first occupant of the palace; an iron model of his hat, weighing 150kg, crowns the building.

The palace contains a rare collection of English tapestries from the 17th century. They were produced at the royal tapestry works in the English town of Mortlake, but were only rediscovered during a reconstruction in 1903, and are undoubtedly worth a visit. The exquisite fountain of St George, depicting the legendary knight slaying the dragon, stands in the square inner courtyard of the Primatial Palace. According to one legend the figure of St. George represents the archbishop, and his fight with the dragon symbolizes the efforts of the Catholic Church to banish the Reformation from the city. Legend has it that St George saved the virgin Dubravka from the dragon, and as a reward gained her hand in marriage. Each year, on St. George’s Day, the stone statue is supposed to come to life, turn around on his horse and bow to the inhabitants of the city.
