Holiday apartment in Kolárovo: Floating Mill and Cultural Heritage

The floating water mill in Kolárovo is the last floating mill in Slovakia. It stands on a former branch of the Little Danube; the Water Milling Museum is located on its grounds. As a national cultural monument, the mill is open to the general public. A covered bridge built entirely of wood leads to the floating water mill. It welcomes visitors from Monday to Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00; guided tours take place every 15 minutes.

Culture

The Water Milling Museum features, among other things, a unique machine for making fishing nets, described as one of the first in the world. The religious buildings include the Baroque Roman Catholic Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. It was built in 1723–1724 on the site of an older Gothic church and enlarged in 1772. Its interior has a late Baroque barrel vault. The Chapel of Saint Rosalia is a Baroque building from the 1750s; its tower was added at the end of the 19th century.

The House of Folk Traditions is a reconstructed old farmhouse with contemporary historical furnishings. It provides space for various folk crafts, art storage and activities dedicated to maintaining and preserving folk traditions. A local tradition in Kolárovo that is more than one hundred years old is the Turíčny dance procession. It is considered one of the municipality’s most significant social events and an important means of preserving Hungarian identity.

The municipal cultural centre organizes several exhibitions each year featuring works by well-known amateur artists, painters and photographers. It is also a co-organizer of Kolárovská lýra, an international amateur singing competition. The cultural centre is committed to preserving and disseminating local folk traditions as well as Slovak, Hungarian and European cultural values.
