Archeopark and manor house Hanušovce nad Topľou

The museum in Hanušovce nad Topľou is original and unique and at the same time the only one in Slovakia that combines a living archeopark and a traditional stone museum.

Archeopark Living archeology in the area of the manor provides a unique knowledge of ancient history - an original form of personal experience. The seven dwellings represent five periods from prehistory to the early Middle Ages (Paleolithic, Neolithic, Late Iron Age, Late Bronze Age and Early Middle Ages), so you will walk around the archeopark about 30,000 years in time.

According to a find from Tibava, the Paleolithic building is a cottage from the Late Stone Age, a replica of a find from Košice, a dwelling from the Late Bronze Age - one from Sedlísk-Podčičva and the other, which copies the floor plan of a house from Nižný Hrušov. The Celtic building has a model in the locality of Zemplín from the Late Iron Age and the Slavic log house is built according to the partially captured floor plan of the building from Skrabský. The residential log building with a shingled roof from the early Middle Ages is again built according to a find from Vlač.

In the area you will also find production shelters, metalwork from the Bronze Age, pottery from the La Tène period and kitchen from the early Middle Ages.

Do you know how a Paleolithic knife cuts? Do you know what a heavy Neolithic ax is? Do you think you can keep the Bronze Age shield? Do you grind flour on a Celtic grinder? Do you create tones on musical instruments?

The expression is forbidden in the archeopark: do not touch! On the contrary, it is an interactive space for the visitor's creativity - so that he takes away the experience of touching the past.

In the archeopark, especially during the summer holidays, the public awaits many events, during which visitors can try different crafts and tastes of times long past.

The manor house in Hanušovce nad Topľou is one of the most beautiful baroque mansions in the Prešov region. With its four towers, it is still the dominant feature of the picturesque town below Slanský vrchy.

The manor house was built in the first half of the 18th century and once belonged to the important Hungarian family Dessewffy. The manor house includes an extensive park, originally an ornamental garden with a regular division.

In the museum you can see valuable collections from the nature and history of the region. The exhibitions acquaint visitors with the history from the geological period of the Mesozoic, including examples of unique fossils of marine animals. The current geological period of the Quaternary presents the flora and fauna of forests and floodplains. Separate sections are devoted to religious history, crafts, and finally military history culminating in two world wars in the 20th century.

The exhibition of period interiors offers a tour of three rooms furnished as an aristocratic salon from the late 19th century, a burgher living room from the early 20th century and a bedroom from the mid-20th century.

For organized groups, it is possible to order a noon in the museum for the tour - work in a workshop of old crafts (weaving, production of ceramics in hand and on a potter's wheel).
