Holiday apartment in Kravany nad Dunajom: Danube riverbank and manor houses

Kravany nad Dunajom lies on the Danube and preserves several historic buildings and memorial sites. At the same time, the landscape of the Danube Lowland defines the geographical setting of the village. Culture, riverbank and floodplain landscape are directly connected here with a local history that can be traced through churches, manor houses, chapels and individual monuments.

Culture

The Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the focal point. It is a late Romanesque church built around 1232. Around 1712, Count Ferenc Gyulay had it renovated and redesigned in the Baroque style; in 1936, it was renovated to reflect its Baroque appearance. The church also preserves two red-marble tombstones. One of them bears an inscription about the noble de Lábathlan family, with the year 1400.

On the banks of the Danube, opposite the Kuzmik family estate, stands a stone statue of Saint John of Nepomuk. It was erected in 1843, restored in 1902 and placed on a marble pedestal. Another distinctive building stands next to the Hroššo estate: it is the largest manor house in the village by volume. Sándor Braun and Józsa Hazai built it in the last quarter of the 19th century. After Gustáv Láng acquired the property in 1917, he had the building redesigned and unified in the Art Nouveau style.

At the western end of Kravany nad Dunajom, in the direction of Dunamocs, stands a wayside shrine known by the locals as the Láng Chapel. It was built in the 1920s; its gridded niche contains an image of the Virgin Mary. A chapel in Kravany nad Dunajom also commemorates a former Lourdes grotto, which a local family had built out of gratitude for their son's recovery.

Kravany nad Dunajom is also known as the “village of manor houses” because aristocratic families built many manor houses and estates there. This designation is just as much a part of the local tradition as the individual buildings and memorial sites.

Nature

Kravany nad Dunajom lies in the Danube Lowland on a low Danube levee along the left bank. The southern part of the municipal area is a floodplain with oxbow lakes, riverbanks and floodplain forest. Thus, both the river and the water-shaped landscape forms are part of the geographical character of the village.

Things to do

The observation tower in Kravany nad Dunajom offers a panorama of the surrounding landscape. In summer, you can swim or sunbathe on the banks of the Danube. The views and riverside activities therefore represent different sides of the village.
