BRODZANY
The original foundations of this manor house belonged to the l6th century Renaissance
block-type building with four towers. The manor house was extended in 1669 when the construction
activity was promoted by the Kvassay family, the successors of the Brodzianski owners and its
appearance has been preserved during the current rennovation activities. The l9th century marked
the history of the manor house by lively Russian-Slovak relations. Both wives of Gustav Vogel of
Friesenhof, owner of the estate since 1844, were close relatives of A. Pushkin. It was Alexandra
N. Goncharova who after her arrival to Brodzany refined her artistic, musical, and literary tastes
and kept in touch with the artists and family members who often visited her in this residence.
The Brodzany-Pushkin tradition laid foundations to the local Literary Museum.
