Pharmacy Salvator

Pharmacy Salvator is located across the street from the monumental St. Martin's Cathedral and it is part of most guided tours of the city.

After the abolition of the Jesuit order, the cabinet was sold in the form of an auction and in 1775 the pharmacist Karol Sessel became its first private owner.

The office was similar to the original room of the Jesuit residence and was artistically modified with ceiling stucco and four allegorical paintings by local amateur painters J. Stztankovics and R. Adler, the daughter of the pharmacist.

He had the cabinet completely restored and built a modern building in Nové Mesto nad Váhom for the purpose of its installation.

In addition to the baroque cabinet, the Museum houses an extensive collection of pharmaceutical artifacts dating back to the 16th century.

The city of Bratislava, after the acquisition of exclusive ownership rights on the building of St. Salvator’s Pharmacy, expressed an eminent interest in relocating the baroque cabinet back to its original premises.
