Gundakara Colloreda. Thus uprised the aristocratic family Colloredo-Mannsfeld, who stayed here till the World War II. In 1945 the chateau fell to the state and has been used for nearly 50 years as the Home of writers. In 1998 the castle, together with the French and English park, was returned back to the private ownership. Present owner is Dipl. Ing. Jerome Colloredo-Mannsfeld from Austria. |
| 2) KONEPRUSY CAVES
Discovered in 1950, the cave shot to fame with the discovery of a forger's den which had been left untouched since the fifteenth century. Finds included a set of weights, miners' lamps, coin making equipment, moulds etc and even the remains of the last meal. Other finds included the abundant remains of Pleistocene fauna and pre-historic man, bones, and stone implements of the Szeletian culture. The lower series is a pleasant stalactite cave. |  |
