In the western Slovak village of Koplotovce, we offer a manor house of significant historical value. Originally built as a Renaissance fortress, the estate was transformed into a Neoclassical manor in the 18th century. Many original architectural features have been preserved, including portals, classical columns, vaulted ceilings and distinctive corner towers.

Location and Infrastructure
This property enjoys a favorable location - about 6 km from Hlohovec and 15 km from the spa town of Piešťany. The nearby D1 motorway (approx. 10 minutes) provides fast access to the capital, Bratislava (about one hour by car). Proximity to the Austrian and Czech borders adds to the property’s appeal: Brno in the Czech Republic and Vienna in Austria are each about 90 minutes away. Budapest, the capital of Hungary, lies 158 km to the southeast.
The region is also known for its thermal springs and healing waters. In Koplotovce itself, a natural mineral spring with a constant temperature of 25°C rises to the surface. The water is used to treat skin, digestive and musculoskeletal conditions and feeds a public thermal pool in the village.
Cultural Significance
In the 19th century, the manor served as a meeting place for intellectuals – including renowned Slovak poet Ján Hollý. A guest of the Kochanovský family, Hollý stayed several times in the lower bastion. Two of his poems, Na Ambruša Kochanovského and Na včelín Eduarda Kochanovského, are dedicated to this location, underscoring the estate's cultural importance as a historic center of thought and creativity.
