History

In Hliník in 1440, the brothers, led by Ján Jiskra of Brandýs, built a late Gothic fortress. After the then town became the property of the Dóczy family in the second half of the 16th century in the hands of the Calvinists, they built a fortified aluminum manor house with spacious cellars and secret underground passages on the site of the fortress. The manor was expanded around 1610.

From 1678, Thököly's troops tried to conquer the manor, which severely damaged it in 1679 and 1682. At the beginning of the 18th century, the manor house was rebuilt with an emphasis on the preservation of late Renaissance building elements.

Its mining was taken care of in 1889 by the Mining Authority and became the seat of the Forest Administration of Hliník. However, the last modification around 1920 disturbed the overall character of the building, when the disturbed parts were demolished and the remaining parts were purposefully modified. Only the external facades according to the Baroque-Classicist design from the beginning of the 19th century were left. In 1951, a vocational school was established in the manor house. At present, the building is owned by a civic association and is located in a fenced area.
