The birthhouse of Ján Hollý

Open-air museum, Folk museum

Borský Mikuláš is the birthplace of the poet Ján Hollý. In the middle of the village, you can find his native house from the second half of the 18th century. In 1957, it was reconstructed and its memorial room was made available for the public.

The exhibition dedicated to Ján Hollý with his authentic equipment realistically documents the environment in which the poet was born, spent his childhood and where he returned in later periods as a student and priest.

The house is a historical cultural monument. It has two rooms - kitchen and one room, which served as a dining room, bedroom and living room. In the garden of the family house, there is a monument carved from natural stone, dedicated to the memory of John Hollý. Its sculptural decoration is made of a bronze statue of a poet in above life-size.

Visits must be agreed in advance at the Municipal Office in Borský Mikuláš. Entry to Ján Hollý's home is free.

The observation tower Hrajky

At a sacred place near Turá Lúka stands the observation tower Hrajky. The silent atmosphere coming from the surrounding hills is seldom cut by the noise of cars driving on the near road. From the observation tower you can enjoy the silhouette of large hills. At the sunset, when the sky changes color into yellow and purple, the place becomes a quite place suitable for relaxation and meditation. Let yourself immerse into surrounding cornfields, rounded hills and small houses. Only noise from passing cars will disturb this harmonic moment of peace.

The howling wind reminds us of a mother’s lament for a lost daughter. It’s smoothening in its own way. The lament attracts predators lying in wait for their victims. Shall we be concerned over the fate of an endangered creature? The fate of the tiny observation tower on Žalostiná is in the hands of those who come to visit it. The tower does not have to worry about its future. It’s beautiful and people like beautiful things.
