Name in English

The manor house was originally a fortified Renaissance building. The front wall of the fortification and two circular bastions with a stone portal in the middle are preserved. In the courtyard of the manor there are two classicist mansions rebuilt in 1901. The mansion with an older core is a single-storey building with an L-shaped floor plan. The second building is also single-storey and has a rectangular shape. On one side, the building is decorated with a series of Tuscan columns.The wall and bastions date from 1613. The cellars of the manor have barrel vaults. It consists of rough stones and bricks.

Koplotovce

The fortress is built in the Renaissance style, occupies an area of 56 ha. It was built at that time according to the latest military defense technology. The model for forts in Nové Zámky and Leopoldov was the Palmanova fortress in Italy. Leopoldov anti-Turkish fortress has a star shape, consists of six circularly placed five bastions connected by ravelins. It was surrounded by a moat. The eastern canal still exists and is used for waste water.The street network was staggered. Six extruded bastions formed small forts, on both sides were placed firing guns for cannons, which shot at the enemy in the crossfire.The fort has two gates: east of Hlohovec and west of the village Leopoldov. The entrance to the fort consisted of draw-bridges that closed at night and in times of danger. The walls are made of stone, the foundations of the fortress and the corner of the bastions of large stone blocks. The walls are inclined. The height is approx. 10m, width 25m and bastion thickness up to 50m. The inner diameter between the gates is 320m and the transverse distance from the corner of one bastion to the corner of the other bastion is 600m. In such a small space was built a powerful fortress, which no enemy attacked.

Leopoldov fort

There is no doubt that the original wood-clay building was replaced in the 13th century by a stone castle. Research revealed fragments of the medieval wall at the southern perimeter of the castle and later research proved the presence of medieval structures in the mass of the castle itself.The castle has an irregular five-sided plan. The castle consisted of an old inner and outer castle. The inner castle was probably a two-story building with a gable roof and a dominant tower. In the foreground, it was covered by a wall of outer fortifications with corner towers. The rest of the cannon bastion in the northern corner of the castle has been preserved from the Renaissance fortification of the castle.The entrance through the underpass leads to the central courtyard, whose distinctive element is the staircase cylinder. Despite a large reconstruction into a Baroque representative residence, the chateau has preserved the essence of a medieval, Renaissance-extended castle. In the rooms on the ground floor there are comb, barrel and Prussian vaults, documenting the medieval and Renaissance appearance of the interiors in the 16th and 17th centuries. They have preserved wall cladding, paintings and stucco decorations.

Hlohovec

The mansion has a one-lane layout and is an exemplary example of smaller fortifications. It is represented by a small castle with a regular quadrangular floor plan with sides about 52 m long and corner, slightly extended towers. According to research, the fortress on the side of the hill in the past was separated by a wide moat. Under the mansion there are underground corridors leading out to several directions. However, these are largely overwhelmed.One wing of an early gothic building from the 15th century was saved, but the rest of the mansion is dilapidating.

Lukáčovce mansion

From the beginning of the 17th century, when the mansion was built on the basis of a medieval castle, the vaulting system and continuous areas of Renaissance plaster were preserved. The floor was rebuilt and minor reconstructions were carried out, within which the facade was also restored.The mansion is a rectangular two-storey non-cellared building with a simple ground plan and two corner semicircular bastions. The basic layout of the building consists of a constructional and layout two-wing in the north-south direction. On the facade, facing the already defunct park, there is a central bay with a triangular gable from the Renaissance reconstruction. In front of it is a balcony with a forged lattice, supported by a console on two pairs of Tuscan columns.In December 2010, its reconstruction began, financed from the Regional Operational Program, in order to improve the quality of services of the unused cultural monument through its reconstruction and procurement of equipment. At present there is a museum.

Nové Sady

The manor house was built on a plain and was protected by a fortification with bastions, the last remnants of which were removed in the 20th century. It was a three-room block ground-floor and one-lane basement building. Its building history can be divided into four stages of development:The first stage took place at the beginning of the 17th century, when the building was restored and enlarged by a three-room tract and also increased by a second floor. The basement and the above-ground areas were vaulted with barrel vaults with ridge lunettes.In the second stage, we can include the modification of the facade with painted geometric decoration in the first quarter of the 18th century.The third stage of modifications was focused on the interior, especially the middle room in today's southern tract, the black kitchen with an open fireplace and the space on the first floor with a staircase outlet, due to the construction of central chimney vents. At that time, a fireplace was built on the first floor of the north wing of the north wing, using Renaissance and Gothic architectural elements to frame its openings.The last stage was the early Baroque renovation, while the Renaissance building was left in its layout. Other modifications were related to the change of use of the building and disrupted the integrity of the building.In 1994, an in-depth monument research was carried out, and in 2010-2012 a comprehensive reconstruction of the manor took place. It currently serves as a museum.

The manor house was fortified with two bastions, but after reconstructions it lost its fortress character. It is a two-storey block building with a rectangular floor plan. The Renaissance period has two stages. In the first stage, the floor plan of the manor house acquired its current shape with an entrance tower. The central courtyard was surrounded by single sections on three sides and the fourth eastern side was closed by a full wall. The building was two-storey and the tower was open. In the second renaissance stage, the tower was closed and the manor house was built with an attic with round window openings. The decorative geometric decoration of the corners, the crown of the attic and the crown of the tower with sgraffito became a significant enrichment of the facades. The Baroque reconstruction later brought radical changes. The inner courtyard was built up and a staircase was added to the entrance tower from the west side. Most of the rooms were vaulted with barrel vaults with sections. In the 19th century, stone portals and window linings were probably replaced. The building received a new, mansard roof.In the 1970s, the manor house was radically repaired for plaster, roofing and wooden structures. The walls in the middle tract were removed, creating one space, the barrel vault was torn down and the space was vaulted with a false vault. In most rooms, the floors made of artificial stone were replaced, the parquet floors were removed. At present, the manor house is dilapidated, only the roof and the tower have been restored. The manor also includes an English park. In 2016, an architectural-historical research was carried out, the aim of which was to periodize building history and link them to the names of specific owners.

The four-winged, multi-storey manor house has undergone only minor alterations and has retained its Renaissance style. It has two corner towers. From the side of the courtyard, they line the three wings of the arcade, on the second floor in the form of an open arcade corridor. The non-style restoration and modification in 1896 and 1924 highlighted the fortified character of the building in order to reconstruct the historical state in a romanticizing spirit.Coffered ceilings and stucco decoration have been preserved. In 2008, architectural and historical research was carried out. At present, the building is in a desolate state and dilapidated.

Hajná Nová Ves

The manor house has a medieval origin and consisted of two separate buildings, consolidated by a Renaissance reconstruction at the end of the 16th century, which was also decisive for its present appearance. These manor buildings are finished with a high arched attic and enclose a courtyard. In the 18th century, the building was remodeled in the Baroque style and the Csáky family had a chapel built on the site of the eastern bastion. Major alterations to the manor also took place in the second half of the 19th century, when a third floor was built into the attic space and a tower was added on the east side. Stucco ornaments of geometric and plant patterns are a typical element on the vaults of the representative spaces on the ground floor.The manor house currently has a rectangular floor plan and three floors. Along the edges of the building there is a square tower, a polygonal tower and a corner arch. The building is divided by flat pilasters. In 2017, the manor house was acquired by a new owner, who began with reconstruction.
