The story of Villa Bork

Villa Bork is a charming aristocratic mansion hidden in the picturesque village of Borčice, in the heart of the Trenčín region. Its elegance and historical charm, captured in an early Renaissance style, will instantly transport you to the past. The date of construction of the manor dates back to 1814 and is also carved into the top of the smooth classical portal above the main entrance to the manor.

Ioannis Ugronovitti, the first owner of the estate, was involved in its construction and his legacy is preserved on a plaque under the portico. The manor house, built on an older Baroque foundation, still shines with its impressive architecture.

.

The Ugronović family, originally from the Balkans, has left its legacy in the form of the family coat of arms, which rises majestically on the facade among the blooming magnolias.

The last noble owners of the manor were the Sipeky family. The noble origin is derived from the Sipeka von Paks family, whose noble title was granted by King Rudolf in Prague in 1579.

The title was awarded to Tomas Sipeky aliter Paksi and his wife Katharina Eöttheövény. These historical roots give the manor house and the park a unique charm.

The elegant noble residence has always been an ornament of the surrounding area and at one time the village of Borčice was nicknamed "Little Vienna".

Both the mansion and its park are now national cultural monuments and have been privately owned since 2006. 

The interior renovation was inspired by the rich history and romance of the place.

The main entrance, surrounded by an elegant columned balustrade, draws you into a world where history and nature are in perfect harmony.

The high roofs and dormer are exceptional architectural details that enhance the aesthetic experience.

The Baroque architects set this noble mansion in the countryside, creating a unique backdrop of privacy and tranquillity.

Magical Magnolias

The atmosphere of Villa Bork is magical all year round, but it is at its most magnificent when the magnolias are in bloom, when the manor house is enveloped in their tender embrace. Three majestic magnolias, which have survived the centuries, stand in front of the main entrance and add to the beauty of the place.

 

The inhabitants of Villa Bork belonged to important aristocratic families and this was also visible in the manor house and the surrounding park, which they beautified.

Inside the manor house, the smell of the ancient walls spreads, especially at Christmas, when it mixes with cinnamon and the scent of pine needles. The original faience fireplaces have been transformed into cosy libraries, and the corridors are complete with elegant armchairs.

Villa Bork is a magical place that not only you but also your guests will love.

A place that, when you choose to experience special moments, you will feel that time has stopped for a moment in this hectic time.
