Originally a Renaissance manor house with a medieval core, rebuilt in a romantic neo-Gothic style in the village of Veľké Uherce
The manor is a four-winged building with round corner towers. It has a two-wing ground floor with a neo-Gothic chapel, accessible by a richly designed portal. On the second floor are representative rooms with carved wooden ceilings, wood-paneled walls and model parquet floors. There is a romantic knight's hall with busts of knights on the walls. In the interior, the tapestry is placed in a ceremonial hall, representing the king sitting on a throne, surrounded by a number of figures. There is a relief portrait of Baron Thonet from 1904 by P. Breithut from Vienna.Today, the manor belongs to the descendant of the original owners, Flavius Thonet, who is gradually repairing it. A part of the manor house should be a museum of Thonet furniture, the chapel and a park should be accessible in the future.
At the site of the manor, there was probably a fortified castle in the 15th century at the latest, parts of the masonry of which were built into the structure of the manor.
The manor house was originally Renaissance and was built in 1622 by Michal Bossányi and his wife Margareta. It was rebuilt in the 18th century in the Baroque style. During the time of the owner Ján Keglevich, further reconstructions of the manor took place in the years 1845-1860 and the building thus acquired a romanticizing neo-Gothic appearance. Keglevich was inspired by the patterns of English medieval castles.
However, the reconstructions were financially demanding and changed owners due to family disputes until 1865, when the manor house was sold to the German Thonet family, who at that time were manufacturers of bentwood furniture. The Thonets continued to make neo-Gothic reconstructions and owned the manor until World War II.
After 1945, a school was established in the manor. There were also dormitories here and later its premises also served as textile warehouses. That is why the premises were devastated. After the war, the manor house was looted. Monument research took place in 1970 and a not very sensitive reconstruction began in 1979, which was not completed until 1990.
In 2009, the manor was bought by a descendant of the original owners, Flavio Thonet, who is gradually repairing it. In the future, the manor should include a museum of Thonet furniture or a restaurant.
There are no myths available.
The manor is in private hands, inaccessible to the public
