Freemason Pavilion

Above, on an island washed by two branches of a stream, stands an octagonal pavilion with windows in the shape of geometric Masonic symbols. The building was constructed at the end of the 18th century and has been rebuilt several times. It was built by Count Leopold Andrássy, who was the founder of the Masonic movement in Gemer.
 
The Freemasonry movement originated in England in the early 18th century and spread from there to other parts of Europe. Originally, membership in the organization was secret, but later members formed a closed society. The movement’s goals were moral improvement, freedom of thought, religious tolerance, the promotion of public welfare, morality, and humanity, and, to some extent, charity.
 
The walls of the interior of the Masonic pavilion are decorated with paintings of ancient temple columns, evoking the interior of a temple. The interior once housed a white marble statue – a female torso covered with a stylized fishing net – but today, for security reasons, the statue is located in the castle. Instead, two damaged Baroque epitaphs (tombstones) are placed on the floor, which were removed from the hunting pavilion in a nearby forest (Bosniak) in the 1970s. Originally, there were five of them, all of which were restored at that time.
 
There are quite a few trees with three and five trunks around the pavilion, which, according to some historians/experts, were planted deliberately to grow together, in order to emphasize Masonic symbolism in nature.
