Geocache Description:


  Počiatky Haličského zámku siahajú až do 12. storočia. Prvá písomná zmienka je datovaná do roku 1386, kedy uhorská kráľovná Mária povolila šľachticovi Štefanovi Lossonczymu postaviť si na tomto mieste kamenný hrad. Rodina hrad vlastnila do 16. storočia, keď sídlo prešlo do rúk Forgáchovcov, jednému z najstarších rodov v Uhorsku. Zámok bol majetkom Forgáchovcov od roku 1554 do roku 1948. Rodina dodnes zámok pravidelne navštevuje.

Hrad následne zažíval vlny dejinných zvratov v podobe povstaní, vojen a najrôznejších rebélií, aby napokon ostal v rozvalinách. Ruiny zámku začali vstávať z popola v roku 1762, podľa projektov architekta Meyerhoffera. V roku 1897 začína nová etapa zámku v Haliči. František Wenckheim nechal celý objekt – na počesť svojej manželky z rodu Forgáchovcov – zrekonštruovať.

Dve svetové vojny, nástup komunistov v Československu v roku 1948 a aktivity JRD v týchto priestoroch, zámku v žiadnom smere neprospeli. Od šesťdesiatych rokov tu bol umiestnený Ústav sociálnej starostlivosti pre mentálne postihnutú mládež Lučenca. Pre tento účel bola v rokoch 1952 až 1964 realizovaná prestavba, ktorá značne narušila pôvodnú štruktúru objektu.

Od roku 1993 ostal celý zámok bez vlastníka, nevyužíval sa a postupne začal degradovať. Svoje dielo na ňom vykonávala príroda a tiež asociálne skupiny obyvateľov. V roku 2005 sa zámok dostáva do rúk súkromného investora a dnes – v novej podobe – začína písať atraktívnu a zaujímavú kapitolu svojich novodobých dejín.

  The origins of Halič Castle date back to the 12th century. The first written record of the castle dates from 1386, when Queen Mary of Hungary permitted local aristocrat Stephen Lossonczy to build a stone castle at this site. The family owned the castle until the 16th century when the residence fell into the hands of the Forgách Family, one of the oldest noble dynasties in Hungary. The castle belonged to the Forgách from 1554 to 1948 and the family still visits it regularly today.

It has over history experienced a wave of reversals caused by uprisings, wars and all sorts of rebellions that eventually left it in ruins. The ruins of the castle started to rise from the ashes in 1762, when it was redesigned by an architect named Meyerhoffer.

In 1897 a new stage began in the life of Halič Castle. It was in that year that Franz Wenckheim had the entire building reconstructed in honor of his wife from the legendary Forgách Family. Two world wars, the onset of Communism in Czechoslovakia in 1948 and the activities of the collective farm established on the castle grounds during socialism did not benefit the castle in any way. Starting in the 1960s, the Institute of Social Care confined mentally handicapped youth of Lučenec at the castle. It had undergone reconstruction for this purpose between 1952 and 1964, significantly changing the original structure of the object.

Since 1993 the castle was abandoned and left without an owner, it started to deteriorate. Nature and vandals began to take a toll on the castle. Finally in 2005, the castle was privatized and with a new appearance it is today writing an attractive and interesting chapter in its modern history.
