Ivanka pri Dunaji – Manor House, Culture and Cycling

Ivanka pri Dunaji is home to a manor house built in the Rococo style in the third quarter of the 18th century for the Grassalkovich family. The town lies in the western part of the Danubian Lowland on a low river terrace between the branches of the Little Danube. The different themes can be given different weighting when planning your individual trip.

Culture

The manor house was originally surrounded by an extensive French park. The Baroque Church of St. John the Baptist dates from 1770 to 1772. Baroque-Classical statues of St. Donatus and St. Florian stand in front of the church. These statues probably originally lined the former road between the manor houses of Ivanka pri Dunaji and Bernolákovo, which was called “Cesta lásky”.

A celebration with Holy Mass is traditionally held in the park next to the manor house on the feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola. In Ivanka pri Dunaji, the Centre for Spirituality organizes lectures, concerts and recitations for the general public. Those who want to distinguish between historic architecture and spiritual culture while still considering them within the same local profile will find two clearly identifiable perspectives here.
