Andrej Kmeť Memorial Room

The life and work of Prenčov’s polymath

The memorial room documents the life and work of Andrej Kmeť (1878–1905), a notable local Roman Catholic priest, polymath, palaeontologist, archaeologist, historian, ethnographer and botanist.

It is housed in a former granary for the poor, a kind of food bank of the past. Wealthy Prenčov farmers contributed part of their harvest to it, and the parish managed the stores. The building also contains a traditional Prenčov farmhouse room with period furniture, folk costumes and traditional tools.

You can visit the churches, the Andrej Kmeť Memorial Room and the blacksmith’s workshop by prior arrangement on +421 45 672 62 44 or by email at prencov@prencov.sk.
