Geocache Description:


    Zamocky park zalozil grof Pavol IV. Palffy v 17. storoci ako sucast renesancneho kastiela. Neskor bol na vysadbu parku povolany anglicky zahradnik, ktory ho osadil vzacnymi drevinami rastucimi aj v nasich klimatickych. Mozno aj tato skutocnost ovplyvnila rozhodnutie Palffyovskeho rodu, vybrat si malacky kastiel za svoje hlavne sidlo a klastorne krypty za miesto posledneho odpocinku. Z vdaky dal grof postavit zahradnikovu bustu do centra jeho diela, nadherne zmenej byvalej velkej piesocnej duny.
    Pocas prevratu v r.1918 madarsky statni zriadenci a taktiez grof Mikulas VI. Palffy boli nuteni zanechat spravu mesta. Rozhorceni vojaci vyrabovali zopar objektov, no kastiel a park obisli takmer bez ujmy, aj ked sa stal docasnym domovom dostojnikov ceskoslovenskej armady a novych statnych uradnikov. V tej dobe viedla od hlavnej brany siroka alej z mohutnych platanov a lip ku vchodu zamku. V parku boli stavby: dom zahradnika, vratnika, vodna veza, zahradnictvo s velkym sklenikom s palmami, male skleniky na pestovanie zeleniny, pred ktorymi bola ruzova zahrada. Na luke za vstupnou branou bol labyrint z umne pestovanych krovin. Na zavlazovanie sluzila velka cisterna na vyvysenom mieste, z ktorej bolo napajana fontana so sochou Tritona. Na nadvori kastiela bola rozmerna murovana studna so sochou jelena. Na okruznej ceste parkom stala socha Panny Marie s pristreskom, ku ktorej sa viazala jedna povest. V roku 1933 ziskali Frantiskani zamok s parkom pre svoju internatnu skolu. V objektoch vykonali mensie zmeny, dostavali v parku jaskynu-motlitebnu.
    Zaciatok skazy nastal az v roku 1945, oslobodenim mesta sovietskou armadou. Kastiel bol uplne vyrabovany a interier, ktory este zostal cely, presiel do "ruk ludu", alebo cervenej armady, ktora ho nakoniec vymenila s miestnym obyvatelstvom za rozne "turisticke" sluzby. Na rad prisli nehnutelne diela, sochy, a tak nenavratne zmizla aj busta zahradnika. No bohuzial skaza neskoncila. Do objektu sa nastahovala armada, a tak Labutie jazero a ine rozne skvosty uz neboli treba. Po prestahovani vojska do novych-krajsich priestorov bola v kastieli zriadena nemocnica a objekt znovu menil svoj hnutelny interier a o park okrem pristavovania novych nevhodnych objektov, nebolo v najmensom postarane. Vzacne dreviny vymenili naletove rastliny, ktore dnes maju svoje evidencne cisla Found it a porast sa stal okrem zopar chodnikov nepriechodny. Konecne v roku 2000 sa ujala spoluprace rakuska strana a boli poskytnute prostriedky z fondu Phare a cast parku bola vycistena, chodniky a severny mur opraveny, ale napriek tomu skaza pokracuje dalej. V roku 2004 z nedostatku prostriedkov nemocnica bola nutena objekt opustit, ktory zase vymenil najomnikov - bezdomovcov a zacala sa dalsia epocha- epocha uplnej skazy.
    Tazko odhadnut, kedy bude tomu koniec, avsak pre hladacov je podstatny koniec obrazka "Welcome", kde najdete jednoznacne urcenie ulozenia skryse. Pozor! Hore uvedene suradnice oznacuju len miesto na zaparkovanie.

Gate
Welcome

    The Castle Park was established by Earl Palfy at the beginning of 17th century as a part of a renaissance castle which started to be built in 1624. For establishing the park a gardener was hired who settled and growed there noble and rare species of wooden plants and trees that were able to live and grow within our climatic region. Maybe this is also why the Palfy´s family decided to choose the Castle in Malacky as their main settlement and the crypt graves in church as their place of last rest. With thanks and respect the Earl arranged making the portrait bust of the gardener right in the centre of his work.
    During revolution in 1918 the hungarian state attendants were forced to leave the administration of the city. Indignant soldiers robbed some objects there but the castle and the park were left unhurt.
    The beginning of the devastation started in 1945 while the city was freed by the Soviet Army. The church was robbed completely and the part of the untouched interier came to people´s hands or to The Red Army and finally was exchanged with local people for different „turistic“ servises. Unfortunately the devastation did not finish yet. The caserns were established there and therefore the Swan Lake and other daisies had no use there anymore. After the soldiers moved out the castle to the new better premises, the object also changed its movable properties and except of some new additional objects built there, not much care was taken of the castle. The rare ceder trees were replaced by less valued registered Found it trees, and thanks to spreading of weed scrubs and weed shags some meanders and footpaths are still unused since. Finally in 2000 with cooperation of Austria and with means of Phare fund the park was cempletely cleaned, the sidewalks, paths and the side walls repaired. In spite of this the destruction did not yet end. In 2004 because of lack of means, the hospital established once within the castle was forced to leave the object. The displaced people and bums moved in and the beginning of total destruction has started.
    It is hard to predict when this will be over, but for the cache seekers the essential is the end of the picture "Welcome", where the cache is definitely determined. Notice: Above mentioned coordinates show the parking place only.
