History

The land was purchased by Archbishop Forgách Ferenc of Esztergom at the turn of the 17th century, where he established the Garden of Pozsony, which was the first arboretum of Hungary. Archbishop Lippay György of Esztergom built a late Renaissance palace between 1642 and 1666. Archbishop Barkóczy ordered the reconstruction and expansion of the palace in Baroque style according to the plans of Franz Anton Hillebrand, which took place between 1761 and 1765. Now the office of the government of Slovakia occupies the building.
