The pride of the municipality of Topoľčianky, north of Zlaté Moravce in western Slovakia at the foot of the Tribeč Mountains, is a vast English park with a picturesque neoclassical castle forming the southern wing of an older chateau.

Originally there was a Gothic moated castle and later a Renaissance fortress. At the beginning of the 19th century, the then owner, Count Jan Keglevich, had the southern Renaissance wing demolished and in its place built a Classicist wing, which is considered to be one of the most beautiful and purest architectural representations of Classicism in Slovakia.

In the past, the palace was the summer residence of the Habsburgs, and after the First World War it was the summer residence of the presidents. The last major reconstruction of the three Renaissance wings of the entire building took place at this time. The first President of the Czechoslovak Republic, T.G. Masaryk loved to visit Topoľčianky not only for work, but also for recreation.

The classicist wing of the palace gradually became a museum. Its visitors can admire an extensive library with over 14 thousand volumes, which is one of the few preserved chateau libraries in Slovakia. The contemporary interior and valuable furniture from the 16th to 19th centuries with beautiful pictorial decorations and ceramic and porcelain collections also deserve attention (it is one of the largest ceramic collections in Slovakia).
