Manor in Malinovo

Malinovo Castle, also referred to as Eberhard, is a mansion in the village of Malinovo in the Bratislava Region of Slovakia. The classicist-style building was rebuilt from a former moated castle.

The castle was first mentioned in 1209. The estate belonged to the counts of Svätý Jur and Pezinok. After 1677, the water castle was rebuilt into a Renaissance mansion with a chapel, while the moat has been partially preserved to this day. In the 19th century, the four-story building was rebuilt by the Aponi family and the mansion took on its current appearance. It currently houses the Gustáv Čejku Associated Secondary School of Horticulture. There is an English park from the 19th century on the premises.
