The riding hall is located within the grounds of the former military barracks. In the register of immovable national monuments of Slovakia it appears under the customary name “Maria Theresa Barracks”.
The complex was probably built in the last third of the 18th century. The barracks were erected in the Classicist style and their architectural features have been preserved to this day. In the first decades of the 20th century the barracks were expanded with a military riding hall. After 1968, soldiers of the Soviet army moved into the complex. After the revolution in 1989 they left the barracks, and the building together with the riding hall became property of the town.
In 2006 the town submitted a request to the Monuments Board to enter the riding hall in the Central Register of the Monument Fund. The riding hall building was declared a cultural monument. In terms of typological category it is probably the only preserved building of its kind in Slovakia. Especially unique is the roof construction, a combined timber–steel system 22 metres wide and 70 metres long.
A cultural venue has grown out of the historic riding hall, now serving cultural, social and educational activities.
