History

Originally a Renaissance manor house with a large English park, it was built at the end of the 16th century as a two-storey four-wing building with two corner towers. There was originally a moat around the manor.

In 1787 it was modified in the Baroque - Classicist style. The reconstruction was initiated by Baron Andrej Jakusics. In 1663 the manor house was destroyed by Ottoman troops and the owners moved to Vršatec Castle. After the death of Imrich Jakusics, the manor fell into the hands of the Hungarian Chamber and the emperor Leopold I. in 1695 he donated the Vršatec estate to Count Kristof Sigfried Breuner and his wife. Since they already owned the Ilava estate, this merged the two estates.

The new owner of the manor became Karol Königsegg, the grandson of Krištof Breuner, who later bequeathed the manor to his son František Xaver Königsegg.

In 1787, the manor house was renovated in the Baroque and Classicist style. A chapel was built, the brick arcades of the courtyard were built, a moat was filled in and an English park was created around it. Further modifications took place in the years 1843-1845.

The last owner of the Königsegg family, Count Francis, had to hand over part of the manor to the state after the First World War as a result of land reform, pay off another debt, and the other property was eventually acquired by the banks.

In the years 1946 - 1952, the manor was used by the Congregation of the Sisters of the Great Savior. In 1954, a gardening school was established in the manor house, currently the Secondary Vocational School is located in the premises of the building.

In 2012, architectural-historical, art-historical and archival research took place.
