SK, Podolie – Park Miniatur

Published: 14.5.2017
On this day, we take you to the realm of small scaled models of castles, chateaux, native houses of many of Slovakia's famous personalities, observation towers, churches, and other types of strucutres.

Park miniatúr The town of Podolie is sitauted aboutt 11 kilometers from Nove Mesto nad Vahom. In the former town, there is St George Roman-Catholic church, and also the largest concentration of chateaux and castles in the world! do you ask how this is even possible? The answer is simple Park miniatur (The Park of Miniatures). Originally, it was the idea of Juraj Hlatky to build such a place in 2001. Soon, the construction took place. Today, the park, which is close to a local elementary school, grew to a place with 70 models within one exhibition. New models are added every year. This lures in tourists, families with children, or people who like to see unusual places.

hrad Lednice

The park is designed as an open air space. It was opened in the mid July of 2005. Amazing scale models of medieval architecture show them in their greatest fame. Many models represent buidlings that are currently in decay, and there is not much left of some. All models are accurately based on their real life templates. The ratios used are 1 : 50, 1 : 30, and 1 : 25.

hrad Beckov

A fan of Slovakian history invested in the entire compound. He intended to create an entertaining yet educational composition which would introduce the cultural heritage and history of Slovakia.
