Zookútik VM • Zookútik Kaštieľa Orlové Zoo-corner of Povážská Bystrica Museum of National History and Science • Zoo-corner of VM (= abbreviation of the muzeum) • Zoo-corner of Orlové Manor House

Zoo-corner of Museum of National History and Science in Považská Bystrica, which was built in 1984 in a historical park of renovated Orlové manor house, where the museum moved. 1998, the zoo-corner was closed and restored in 2001. Three years later (2004), the manor house fell into private hands of new owner (as assets to satisfy creditors after the bankruptcy of the owner - national enterprise of Povážské Strojárne = engeneering works). The Museum had to move out and by that also zoo-corner was abolished. Later, the municipality wanted to purchase the manor house, but the new owner did not sell it (wants to create hotel here).

Gradually (during all existence of the zoo-corner) there were: lynx, raccoons, badgers, skunk (?), roe deer, red deer, mouflons, llamas, dromedary (?), kulans, donkeys, goats, donkeys, emus, eagles, buzzards, horned owls, local songbirds, peacocks, pheasants, pigeons...
