From the earliest records to the present day, we will guide you through a town where history can be felt in every cobblestone. 🛡️ You will discover the remains of medieval walls that protected the town in times of uncertainty and walk along the routes where guards once stood, watching for the arrival of merchants or warning of danger. ⛪ We will visit impressive churches and chapels that reflect the spiritual depth of Modra — whether it is the richly decorated Roman Catholic Church of St. Stephen the King or the two Evangelical churches standing side by side, which hide stories of the Reformation and education. 🕰️ We will pass by the houses of craftsmen, potters, teachers, and heroes of everyday life.
