History

Before the arrival of the Bossány family, a fortified block castle stood on the site of today's manor house at the latest in the 14th century. Later, in the 15th century, it was extended to three-room. The castle with a polygonal tower has been preserved in the constructions of today's manor house. The Turkish danger forced the Bossians to rebuild the original residence into a large early Renaissance fortified mansion, construction of which began in 1550.

In 1708, the manor became part of the fortress line of Rákóczi's Kurucs, when its defenses were strengthened and a crew of about 600 Kurucs was stationed here. In the 18th century, the Bossányi experienced a golden age. During this period, the manor was honored by the visit of Queen Maria Theresa, who also spent the night here. In 1776 the manor house was rebuilt in the Baroque style.

After the extinction of the Bossány family after the sword in 1781 and after the hog in 1813, the manor was acquired by the Malobošian branch. The pubs under the west wing were also used as prisons for many years. A small park was created behind the manor house, a moat was filled in and the fortification function of the building disappeared.

In 1857, Šimon Bossányi, a sub-mayor of Nitra, a county governor of Tekov and a governor-in-chief, sold the manor to the company Adolf Schmitt a spol., Which significantly rebuilt the old building. The building was originally used to store leather supplies, and it was not until 1890 that the manor house was converted into the flats of the landlords.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the manor was rented by Ján Salzberger and he settled in the manor house. In 1948, the manor house was nationalized and used for education and warehouses.

Reconstruction of the manor began in 1988, but after 1990 the manor was abandoned, the restoration was not completed and the monument fell into disrepair. The situation was aggravated in 2000 by a fire when the roof burned down. In the years 2011-2013, there was an extensive reconstruction of the manor house building.
