History

The manor house was built in the 17th century in the Renaissance style. It was owned by the Podhradský, Príleský and Ostrolúcky families.

In 1704 it was burned down during the Rákóczi uprising. The manor house became the seat of Pavel Príleský and underwent construction modifications several times.

In 1744, Paul's son, Alexius, had a chapel built in one wing, where services were held.

From 1801 the manor belonged to the Ostrolúcky family. The story of Adela Ostrolúcka and Ľudovít Štúr is connected with it. The last owner of the manor was until 1949 Gejza Ostrolúcky, whose aunt was the mentioned Adela Ostrolúcka. During this period, at the beginning of the 19th century, it was imperially rebuilt when a seven-axis portico with an Ionic pillar was built, which lines the towers with domes.

The manor house was renovated in the 20th century and currently serves as the House of Social Services. Next to the manor house is a large park with rare trees.
