The memorial ensemble spreads across six locations throughout Modra and includes his grave, two townhouses, a former parish church, and two memorial sites in nature. Together these places form a distributed museum that documents his life and work at different significant spots.
The ensemble commemorates Ľudovít Štúr, who codified the Slovak language in the 19th century and led the national movement under Hungarian rule. His work laid the foundation for modern Slovak literature and national identity.
The museum displays personal belongings, photographs, and documents tied to his literary work, including the poetry collection 'Spevy a piesne'. These objects offer a direct view into his daily life and creative pursuits.
Visitors can explore all six memorial sites on foot, with the museum and townhouses easily accessible from the town center. The scattered locations in nature are reachable from the town sites with moderate effort.
A memorial site in Šnaudy marks where Štúr suffered a fatal hunting injury in 1855. This location in nature preserves memory of the tragic circumstances surrounding his early death.
