The mansion originally had two above-ground floors and cellars and the ground plan was U-shaped. The building was surrounded by a moat and had four wings. It included four corner towers. In the southern wing there was a representative staircase with a segmented vault. The rooms were vaulted either by Renaissance barrel vaults with lunettes and cross vaults or baroque segmented and barrel vaults with lunettes.The mansion has retained its stronghold character until the second half of the 20th century. The building was gradually deliberately demolished and dismantled for building material. Today, only one torso of the tower remained from the manor house.

The park area originally designed on the principles of a nature-landscape park is enclosed by a brick fence. The shape of the park is an irregular pentagon, the manor house is located centrally. The extinct Šintava water castle was found during archaeological research in 1983-1995. Classicist mansion contains older remains of architectures. It has a renaissance bastion inside. Another interesting feature is the wooden construction of the roof, where there are large wooden beams. They are a memorial to the rafting on the Váh River, the old important transhipment station in Sered and the Slovak rafts and carpenters who left their names on the huge beams.The building is in a neglected state, but the civic association Water Castle launched in 2008 a project of restoration of the mansion and bastion - one of the defensive buildings of the former castle Šintava. Inside the bastion there are casemates of the Šintava fortress with two pairs of cannon loopholes - a massive vaulted space with three pillars. It was built of bricks in the middle of the 16th century (around 1550).After approval of the plan by the town and the monument office, work on the renovation of the oldest part of the mansion began in 2009. In 2010 they were interrupted and continued only in 2011–2013, when the interior and courtyard facade of the bastion with a new gate was restored.

Šintava

The mansion is basically a copy of the Renaissance chateau of the Thurzo dynasty in Bytča, while its Renaissance appearance and resemblance to the Bytčiansky Castle has been preserved to this day despite its later reconstructions.It is a storeyed fortified four-wing building with circular defensive bastions on the corners. The courtyard is lined with arcade corridors. Above the entrance to the facade is a square tower with loopholes. In the rooms on the ground floor there are preserved barrel vaults with slices, the rooms on the first floor are characterized by the use of Prussian and barrel vaults.

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.

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.

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.
