Kastielov pribeh...













Pribeh Modranskeho kastiela zacal koncom 16. storocia, kedy budova sluzila ako mlyn, ktory mal az dve mlynske kolesa. V roku 1780 budovu odkupila prominentna rodina Schediusovcov a mlyn vyznamne rozsirila a prestavala. Po prestavbe mal objekt 25 miestnosti.

Ako roky bezali, mlyn casto menil majitelov az prisiel posledny sukromny vlastnik - rytier XY-Z. Tento pan rytier ziskal mlyn v roku 1912 a romantickou prestavbou ho premenil na letne slachticke sidlo. Z ciest po europe si pan rytier priviezol znacne mnozstvo historickych artefaktov. Vyznamnym sposobom pretvoril aj zahradu kastiela - "kombinaciou krajinarskej upravy a pravidelne formovanych ovocnych drevin".
Mnoho z uprav pana rytiera pozname uz len z historickych kresieb (ktore sam maloval), pretoze ako roky bezali, zmenilo sa aj postavenie pana rytiera. A tak bol kastiel v roku 1922 odpredany Ceskoslovensku za 485 000 korun. Stat nasledne v rokoch 1922-1923 kastiel opatovne prebudoval pre potreby Vinarskej skoly, ktora tu sidlila az do roku 1954. V sucasnosti v objekte sidli Malokarpatske osvetove stredisko.

Su dni, ked je kastiel otvoreny a su dni, ked jeho brany najdete zavrete. Urcite stoji za prehliadku aspon nadvorie kastiela (idealne je vidiet aj zahradu - ktora dokaze prekvapit, kedze ju tu clovek necaka). Ak je kastiel zatvoreny, je mozna spon virtualna prehliadka na stranke MOS.

Ku keske...

Na uvodnych suradniciach kesku nehladajte, ale finalne suradnice kesky su jednoduche :o)
N 48° 20.EAE
E 017° 18.C(B-D-E)(C-F)

Niektore casti suradnic ziskate po svedomitom badani v knizniciach a svetovych archivoch a ine zase v blizkom okoli (cca 20m) Modranskeho kastiela:

A - Ak ste si dobre prezreli listing, nemal by byt problém dohladat krstne meno pana rytiera, ktoreho prve pismeno pouzijeme. Aby som este trosku pomohol - pan rytier bol aj talentovany maliar, ktoreho kresby aj dnes putuju po aukcnych sienach, dalej bol spisovatel ktory sa venoval najma svojmu najvyznamnejsiemu zamestnavatelovi a v prvom rade bol kancelarom.

B - Na priečelí budovy je určitý počet okien, len jeden výklenok je bez okna, je tam len "rám" koľké v poradí by to bolo okno? (okná vo vežičke nerátaj)

C - Ak uz viete krstne meno pana rytiera, urcite ste narazili aj na jeho najvyznamnejsieho zamestnavatela. Aj ked je zaujimave precitat si o jeho pohnutych osudoch, nas bude zaujimat jeho manzelka :o). Konkretne rok v ktorom sa po 63 rokoch mohla vratit do rodnej krajiny C = tretia cislica - prva cislica.

D - Na mieste mlynskeho kolesa sa nachadza barokove susosie ktore ma D ruk

E - hladate VO-00E, oznacene sluzi na to, aby ste videli aj poculi :o)

F - Kedysi toto tu plulo vodu do nadrze dnes to ma len zachmureny vyraz, neupravenu bradu a F oci :o)

Pre istotu si prineste svoje pero a vratte presne na miesto. Happy caching :o)

Mansion's tale...

The Mansion's tale began at the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th centuries, it was a mill, with two wheels. The prominent Schediuses family bought it in 1780 and extended it into a bigger building with 25 rooms.

The mill changed hands over time. In 1912, knight XY-Z, bought it and transformed it into an residence with a beautifully arranged garden and romantic decorations. Many changes we can see only on historical paintings which autor is our knight of course :o). But then hard times came and he has to sold mansion in 1922 to Czechoslovakia for 485,000 crowns. Afterwards, a state again rebuilded this building for purposes of school of wine making and fruit growing. The school operated there until 1954. The Small Today, the Carpathian Cultural Centre is residing there.

There are days, when is the mansion opened and you can enter in and see nice courtyard or even beautifull garden. And there are days, when you find gate of the mansion closed. Then it is able virtual visit at least.

About cache...

On start coordinates do not search cache, but the final coordinates are easy :o)
N 48° 20.EAE
E 017° 18.C(B-D-E)(C-F)

Some parts of coordinates you can get by the conscientious research in libraries and world archives :o) and another parts in the vicinity of Modra's mansion.

A - If you viewed the listing well, it should not be a problem to find first name of mentioned knight. Then you have to use first letter of this name. I can a little help - Knight was also a talented painter whose drawings are selling in auction around the world, then he was a writer which wrote mainly about his most significant employer and least but not last he was the Chancellor.

B - There is a certain number of windows on the front facade of the building, only one niche is without a window, there is only a "frame" how many in a row would it be a window? (do not count the windows in the turret)

C - If you already know the first name of mentioned knight, you certainly read about his most important employer. Although it is interesting to read about his unsettled fate, for getting of coordinates is interesting his wife: o). Specifically, the year in which she can return back to home country after 63 years C = third digit - first digit.

D - On the site of the mill wheel you can see the baroque sculpture which has D number of hands.

E - you are looking for VO-00E, this equipment cause that you can see and you can heard :o)

F - Many years ago this creature spit out water in to small tank. Today it has only gloomy expression, uncared beard and F number of eyes :o)

Bring your own pen and return cache back as you found it. Happy caching :o)


Vzhľadom na to, že sa na kaštieli koná rekonštrukcia, k niektorým z indícií sa možno ťažšie dopracujete. V prípade problémov s ich získaním ma kontaktujte cez email, alebo správou cez môj profil. Overím to a prípadne pomôžem. Vďaka za pochopenie a verím že sa čoskoro rekonštrukcie ukončia.


Because the mansion is being reconstruction, some of the clues may be harder to come by. In case of problems with obtaining them, contact me via email or a message via my profile. I'll check it out and help if necessary. Thanks for your understanding and I believe that the renovations will be completed soon.
