Mojmírovce between Castle History and Wine

Mojmírovce combines culture, wine and landscapes in different forms. Castle history, local heritage, viticulture and preserved technology give the town several clearly distinguishable themes for planning your trip. This makes it possible to structure your stay between historic buildings, regional wine traditions and landscape destinations.

In Mojmírovce, these focal points can be explored without a fixed order: the town's history ranges from Baroque castle architecture and ecclesiastical architectural history to preserved mill technology. Wine appears both as an architectural element in the castle and as a living tradition with vineyards, a tasting room and an annual event. The surrounding area complements the local attractions with hills, mountains and additional castles.

Culture and History

The castle of Mojmírovce was built in 1721 by Imrich Huňady in the Baroque style and was later rebuilt in the Classical style after a fire. In Urmín, the first public horse races in Austria-Hungary took place in 1814.

The Mojmírovce Regional Museum is located in the renovated summer residence of Prince Aldobrandini, which is considered a “small castle.” The Mojmírovce Regional Museum preserves 305 rare old prints.

The Church of Saint Ladislaus was commissioned by the local landowner Ladislav Huňady, who brought craftsmen from Vienna. The mill in Mojmírovce preserves most of its original technical equipment from 1926.

The park by the museum features ghost sculptures designed around motifs from local legends. In this way, Mojmírovce brings together representative architecture, ecclesiastical history, prints, technology and traditional motifs in different ways.

Wine and Local Tradition

The castle of Mojmírovce contains a vaulted brick wine cellar. The vineyards of Víno PD Mojmírovce currently cover 133 hectares. Víno PD Mojmírovce uses exclusively grapes from its own vineyards.

In the tasting room of Víno PD Mojmírovce, visitors can taste the winery's products. Every spring, Mojmírovce hosts an annual wine tasting in the cultural center.
