Holiday Apartment in Hruboňovo: Culture, Reservoir and Traditions

The Perkovský potok stream flows through Hruboňovo. In the northern part of Výčapky lies the Hruboňovo Reservoir, which serves as a place for short-term recreation. The reservoir can only be accessed from the village; there is no path around the body of water.

History and Culture

In the 13th century, a Gothic chapel dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel stood in the local cemetery. The preserved foundations of the Chapel of Saint Michael the Archangel contain crypts with the coffins of local landowners. On the main road in Výčapky stands the approximately 200-year-old, preserved and well-maintained Chapel of the Seven Sorrows of Mary. The chapel contains a sculpture of the Virgin Mary holding the dead Christ in her arms.

The statue of Saint John of Nepomuk is also among the visible cultural monuments. It is surrounded by a triangular metal grille made around 1791. Kaštieľ Výčapky is a two-storey Baroque-Classical manor house dating from the mid-18th century; the late 17th century is also sometimes given as its date. The manor house is currently abandoned and falling into disrepair.

Further historical traces date back to Roman times. The coin from this period found in Hruboňovo is now held in the repository of the Archaeological Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences or the Slovak Agricultural Museum in Nitra. Parts of, and the engine from, an American Mustang fighter aircraft that crashed in Hruboňovo in 1944 are exhibited at the Apponyi Hunting Lodge Museum in Oponice.
