Discover Malacky

Malacky brings together architectural history, a museum and time outdoors. This gives your trip planning several themes to focus on: Renaissance architecture, a predominantly ethnographic collection and paths through Zámocký Park.

Renaissance and sacred architecture

Malacky Manor House is closed in 2026 for partial renovation. Spring 2027 is the anticipated reopening date. If you plan to visit the manor house, check the latest notice before your visit. It was originally a Renaissance building, constructed in 1624.

Kostol Najsvätejšej Trojice is also among the city’s oldest surviving buildings. The Renaissance church was built between 1574 and 1580, predating the manor house. The two buildings offer different points of reference for Malacky’s Renaissance history.

The synagogue in Malacky was built in the Moorish style. Its features include richly ornamented stucco, a bimah or Torah ark, and a niche for storing Torah scrolls. Visits are available by guided tour, booked in advance through the local art school; requests should be made at least one day ahead.

An exact replica of the Holy Stairs is also located in a church in Malacky.

Beneath the Franciscan church are crypts where around forty notable members of the Pálffy family, Franciscans and wealthier residents of the city and its surroundings are buried. Weekday visits are possible after registering by phone or email at least one day in advance and receiving confirmation. Alternatively, you can notify the tourist information office during its opening hours. The two registration options differ: phone or email in advance, with confirmation, or notification to the tourist information office during its opening hours.

Museum and music

The Michal Tillner Museum collection comprises more than 1,200 objects and is predominantly ethnographic. Part of the exhibition on kerosene lamps and wall clocks has been modernized. The museum therefore features both an extensive collection and two specifically identified exhibition themes.

Malacky regularly hosts the music event Malacká hudobná jar in March. If your trip falls in that month, it could be an additional cultural event to attend.

Park, walks and cycling route

Zámocký Park covers 30 hectares. It offers places to walk, running paths, a new outdoor fitness centre and a football pitch. Activities range from walking to running, fitness and football. You can reach Zámocký Park by bus and train.

The Duklianskych hrdinov–Na majeri cycling route starts at the entrance to Zámocký Park, opposite Fytopharma. It follows Duklianskych hrdinov Street past the hospital, continues along Rakárenská Street and reaches the Na majeri area on the other side of the motorway. This identifies both the starting point at a park entrance and the route’s destination area.
