Park Mojmírovce

History

Description of the park

The southern part of the park is composed in a natural landscape way. In front of the manor house, box trees with fountain amid are situated. The southern part is covered by forest cover without any marks from the previous structure of the landscape. Relief of the park is mainly flat with a valley with a canal. On the elevated place we may find a dendrological strangeness- Fraxinus excelsior ’Diversifolia’- a tremendous ash tree. A little watercourse served to water horses.
Farm yard which is situated in the middle of the complex is surrounded by the manor house and stables. The south- western building was renovated and turned into a furnace room.

Fauna and flora of the park

The park is a part of bottomland forest. Those forests are situated in flood areas and often end under water. Plants and woods which grow there have adapted to water circulation and would not survive  if there was a lack of water. Bottomland forests need to be near watercourses or high groundwaters.

Typical bottomland trees are: poplar, oak, ash, alder, lime and elm trees. You may find there bushes just as: hackberry tree, Honeysuckles, common dogwood, viburnum and elder tree. Some of  the most occuring herbs: Glechoma hederacea, blackberries and lady's bedstraw. In the spring, some plants are in bloom before leaves on the trees grow.

Some of the original woods in the park are ash trees, huge limes, platans, an oak which look like a pyramid, beech with red leaves and Caucasian fir tree.

Current use

In 1974, consumer cooperative took ownership of the manor house and after some reconstructions were done, it became a place for hotel- Manor house Mojmírovce Ltd., Educational institute COOP, Inc. and Foundation Mojmírovce.

The stud farm was converted into a modern congress and hotel center. The reconstructed manor house turned into a restaurant, wine cellar, wine shop, training rooms, apartments and rooms and relax center. Space underground is used as a shooting range.

The manor house didn't lose its pomp. It's surrounded by a beautiful English landscape garden with a reconstructed fountain and oak statues of saints and patrons from Marek Žitňan.

The northern part was revitalized between 2011 and 2013. Some plants were removed and some decontaminated in order to help to stabilize the structure of the park. Wood chips were used to create a pathway and benches were added. The purpose of the revitalization was to bring back the original park arrangement and create a nice place for walking with view at the dominant features of the park and return its ecological and social function.

The southern building where the stable was placed, serves nowadays as a congress center. The greenhouse which was part of a southern part of the manor house was dismantled and sold. Nowadays, an indoor pool can be found at this place.

Park is a part of a hotel and serves as a relaxation zone not only for the hotel visitors but for citizens as well.
