  • Dear Guests, Welcome to Bojnice Castle!
    Dear guests, welcome to Bojnice Castle! The sightseeing tour begins in the first courtyard at the time indicated on the ticket. Interior sightseeing of the Castle is possible with guided tours only. First room - history of Bojnice Castle. Bojnice Castle is one of the oldest and most significant monuments in Slovakia. Originally a wooden castle that stood on a travertine hill above the town, it was first mentioned in 1113. It was built in stone by the Hont-Poznan family in the 13th century. Since the castle was always in royal possession, it was given to nobles only. Generations of nobility took turns at ruling Bojnice starting with Hont - Poznan, Matúš Čák Trenčiansky, Gileth, Leustach, Noffry, Zapolsky, King Matej Korvín, Thurzo, Pallfy until the last castle owner Jan Pallfy. King Matej Korvín gave the castle to his illegitimate son Johann Korvín in 1489. Legend has it that King Matej loved spending time under the common lime tree, which can be admired outside the entrance to the castle. He would beginn to dictate his documents with "Sub nostris dilectis tiliis bojniciensibus", which translated means "under our beloved lime tree". From 1637 the castle belonged to the last noble family, the Pálffys. Under their ruling, the castle was rebuilt in various styles - gothic, renaissance and baroque. The last Neo-Gothic reconstruction was carried out according to the models of French castles on the river Loire and lasted 22 years. This reconstruction, which was supervised by Count Pallfy himself gave the castle its present appearance. Unfortunately, Count Pálffy did not live to see its completion.

Key words: geodynamics, gravity field, gravimetry, Earth’s rotation, GPS (Global Position- ing System) 1. Geodesy Utilization of GOCE data to regional geodetic applications A downward continuation of vertical component of gravitation tensor based on Poisson integral formula was studied in Janák et al. (2007). However, this problem has not been studied further and our attention has been dedicated to different type of integral transformation mentioned below. The integral transformation between the components of disturbing gravity tensor and the free-air gravity anomaly was developed in spherical coordinates, based on the Pizzetti formula, and properties of particular integration kernels were described in Janák et al. (2009a,b). The integral transformation was discretized and used to solve an inverse problem, i.e. a downward continuation and a transformation of disturbing gravity tensor to gravity anomalies in one step. A numerical simulation of this inverse problem was performed using the simulated data based on the global gravity model EGM08.

It describes cultural strategy and policies through different important stages – the period preceding the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1918, the interwar period, the Slovak Republic (1939–1945), a brief period after the Second World War (1945–1948), the communist regime before “normalization” (the 1950s and 1960s), the communist regime during “normalization” right up to the fall of the Iron Curtain (1970–1989), and the transformative period from 1990 to the present day. This paper is focused on perceptions of museums and memorial institutions by the public. It explains the ways in which public policy affected museums, and how museums and museum associations could influence international, regional, and national policies concerning cultural institutions. This paper seeks to present the laws regarding museums that have formed the legal framework of institutionalization and the existence of museums and memorial institutions and that have established the basic rules for public authorities that manage museums and associated financial matters in Slovakia.

  • The Interest in the Art of the Nazarenes in Slovakia
    The Interest in the Art of the Nazarenes in Slovakia Marta Herucová Abstract HERUCOVÁ, Marta: The Interest in the Art of the Nazarenes in Slovakia. The study is focused on the unknown artworks of Nazarenes preserved in Slovakia. It follows the ways by which came here the paintings, drawings and graphics by Johann Friedrich Overbeck and artists around him. Those were Johann Evangelist Scheffer von Leonhardshoff, Ludwig Schnorr von Carolsfeld, Carl von Blaas and Ferenc Szoldatics (Kupelwieser's and Führich's student). From Slovakia joined the Nazarenes the sculptor and draftsman Joseph Daniel Böhm from Spišské Vlachy; however his interests were wider. In Slovak collections are to be find graphics from the engravers of Düsseldorf School and from Josef Kovatsch reproducing the Nazarene art. The interest in this art was shown by Sigismund Bubics, Bishop of Košice, mentioned Joseph Daniel Böhm, Alojz Rigele, sculptor from Bratislava as well as Willibald Leo Lütgendorff-Leinburg, German art historian and painter, who had roots in Bratislava. Keywords: Nazarenes, Johann Friedrich Overbeck, Slovak art collections, Academies of Art, 19th century n Slovakia, part of former Kingdom of Hungary, there are some excellent but “forgotten” artworks I made by Nazarenes. These artworks, their contexts and related stories, have been omitted in the last European recapitulations of the history and art of Nazarenes. I focused my research on the origins of paintings and drawings and some engravings by first Nazarenes, not on the copies or artworks influenced by them. I followed the way by which they came into Slovak art collections in order to see the extent of interest in such art.
