It is the house where Marína Pischlová lived for the most of her life. This house is a building of national and cultural significance as well as being part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Looking at the house from the outside I wasn't really impressed by the whole project and the idea. But after seeing all attractions, the interior of the house and the love bank I was really surprised how beautifully it all has been put together. From the whole reconstruction of the house to the presentation of the love story it all made very nice and interesting experience. You will not find anything similar anywhere in Slovakia. I have also seen the famous house of Romeo and Juliette in Verona or the love museums in South Korea and I must say that the experience there was really poor. This one actually made a point and especially it was based on the true story. I was actually quite impressed how well it was all done. You can feel the inspiration from other exhibitions like Harry Potter studios or the book and mirror installation in Bratislava, but it doesn't matter at all, because after all you'll be glad that you paid the money for something unique and exceptional.

Berggericht – the building of former Mining Court – is now seat of The Mineralogical Exposition with more than 400 breath-taking minerals from all continents. In the courtyard of the building is the Michael adit (mining tunnel) open for visitors. After the end of mining, the Michael adit was used as a cellar and store. It is just 50 m long and therefore suitable for kids, elderly and short-term visitors. The Berggericht building also hosts the Tourist Information Centre on the ground floor.
