Have you ever heard of a bank for love? A place where you can leave photos, love letters, rings or maybe a cinema ticket from your first date?
In Slovakia, couples can store their romantic keepsakes in the Love Bank in Banksia Stianvica's Hours of Marina, a museum that celebrates the world's longest love poem.
The 2,900-line poem tells the tale of the doomed love between the poet and Marina Pischlová was written in Autumn 1846 by the Slovak poet Andrej Sládkovič who started writing the poetry in 1844.
Andrej, who fell in love with Maria, but her parents made her marry a wealthy gingerbread maker, was a poor student who tutored her at her parent's luxury home and became his muse.
In the Love Bank, couples can preserve their love forever, leaving their special seal in one of the 100,000 tiny drawers while they're the only ones who can see what's inside.
and get your box in the Valentine's!
Wishing you and your beloved ones a Happy Valentine's Day
