Madách Mansion, Dolná Strehová, Manor house and literary museum in Dolná Strehová, Slovakia.

The Madách Mansion features three wings with a middle bay and two diagonal prismatic towers, built in Rococo-Classical architectural style in 1777.

After fires destroyed previous structures in 1717 and 1758, A Madách, grandfather of writer Imre Madách, reconstructed the mansion as a family residence.

The mansion contains permanent exhibitions of Mihály Zichy's illustrations for 'The Tragedy of Man' and displays artifacts from Imre Madách's literary career.

Visitors can explore the mansion from Tuesday to Sunday between 10 AM and 5 PM during summer months, while winter hours run Monday and Wednesday through Friday.

The Lion Cave within the mansion served as Imre Madách's writing space, and his tomb, designed by sculptor L Rigele, stands in the surrounding park.
