Jozef Schreiber’s Mausoleum

 

 

Did you know?

The Mausoleum is a Neo-Renaissance structure that was built in 1902–1904 by Eduard Hauser’s stonemasonry company to a design by the Viennese architect Alexander Graf. It is the final resting place of the industrialist Jozef Schreiber (* 08.03.1835 Dub nad Moravou – † 17.11.1902 Rapotín). In 1890, he bought the whole Lednica manor from Baron Filip Skrbenský, including the farming town of Lednické Rovne. From 1892, he built a glassmaking factory, housing for workers, a school, a hotel, a notary’s office, a surgery and a railway. After his death, the estate was inherited by his sons Eduard, Maximilián, Alfréd and Rupert. In 1910, Eduard Schreiber used the park as the location for the first Slovak feature movie entitled Únos (Abduction).
