Liptovská Štiavnica: Manor House, Chapels and Mountain Views

Liptovská Štiavnica lies in the valley of the Štiavničanka stream. The newer manor house in Liptovská Štiavnica was built at an unspecified time in the 17th century in the Late Renaissance style as a fortified two-towered block castle. It was rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1750 and expanded with two towers in 1880; today it has four round corner towers.

Culture

The Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary features modern architecture and is one of the landmarks of the municipality. Its construction began in 1995, and it was consecrated in December 1999. Next to the church stands a wooden bell tower built in 1933.

At the crossroads between Liptovská Štiavnica and Ludrová stands the Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk. It is a small structure from the early 20th century with Neo-Romanesque and Neoclassical elements. Another chapel, the Chapel of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, is located in Liptovská Štiavnica on the main road, about 200 metres below the church.

The Lúčny Hríb hill was an important fortified settlement in the older Iron Age and during the Great Moravian period. The manor house is now privately owned and is not open to the public; it can only be viewed from the outside.

Nature

The Nižňanský medokýš mineral spring lies in the protected zone of the Low Tatras National Park. From a rest area at the mineral spring, there is a view of the Western Tatras, the Choč Mountains and part of the Lesser Fatra.

Signposts from the village centre lead to the Nižňanský medokýš mineral spring, first along an asphalt road and then along a footpath. The spring is located about 100 metres from Chalúpkovo.
