The artist’s studio, his so-called “Swiss Cotage”, is located close to the castle in Strážky. His father, Baron Eduard Mednyánszky, had it built for him after he had completed his studies. It was at some distance from the house, so that the painter would not feel cramped. In the interwar period Mednyánszky’s niece, Baroness Margita Czóbelová, used the building for her painting. Later the little house was dismantled for its bricks.
