SK: Gróf Ferdinand Majláth pochádzal zo siedmych detí grófa Juraja Majlátha a grófky Sarloty Zichy. V roku 1926 sa oženil s grófkou Hubertou Széchenyi a stal sa tak posledným zemepánom Gbelianskeho panstva. Vo Viedni absolvoval operáciu slepého creva a pri návrate do Gbelian náhle zomrel na infarkt. Bolo to vo februári 1929 a gróf mal vtedy 38 rokov.
Gróf Ferdinand Majláth mal 2 dcéry – Ferdinandu a Šarlotu, ktoré si ponechali panstvo do roku 1945. Sídlom Gbelianskeho panstva bol honosný barokový kaštiel z polovice 18. storocia, ktorý stojí v obci Gbelany uprostred parku, obkolesený kamenným múrom (teraz v súkromnom vlastníctve). Po roku 1945 ich majetky prešli do vlastníctva štátu – Ceskoslovenskej Republiky.
Gróf Ferdinand Majláth je pochovaný v tichom prostredí lesíka Dielec nad obcou Gbelany, kde Majláthovci plánovali vybudovat rodinné mauzóleum. Zaciatkom druhej svetovej vojny sa však rodina odstahovala do Bratislavy a neskôr do Madarska a odtial do Švédska.
EN: Count Ferdinand Majláth came from the seven children of Count George Majláth and Countess Sarlota Zichy. He married Countess Hubert Szechenyi in 1926 and became the last count of Gbelany landlords. Returning to home from Vienna he suddenly died of a heart attack. It was in February 1929, when he was 38 years old.
Count Ferdinand Majláth had 2 daughters - Ferdinand and Charlotte, which owned the estate until 1945. The residence of Gbelany counts was a magnificent Baroque chateau from the mid-18th century, which is situated in the village Gbelany in the middle of the park, surrounded by a stone wall (now private property). After 1945, their property was transferred into state ownership - the Czechoslovak Republic.
Count Ferdinand Majláth is buried in a quiet place named Dielec – a little forest above the village Gbelany, where Majláth´s family wanted to build a family mausoleum. However, at the beginning of World War II, the family moved to Bratislava, then to Hungary and from there to Sweden.
SK: Kúsok pod grófovym hrobom je pekná vyhliadka. Vidiet Gbelany, Varín, hrad Strecno, Martinské hole, automobilku Kia a iné prírodné krásy :-).
EN: A few steps far from the Count's grave is a nice view. You can see Gbelany, Varín, Strecno Castle, car factory Kia and other natural wonders :-).
SK: Keska je od parkingu cca 800 m (15 minút). Treba prejst cez lúku hore (býva tam vyjazdená cesticka) a potom do hory po lesnej ceste.
EN: The cache is about 800 m far from the parking point (15 minutes). You have to go through the meadow and then follow the path to forest.
