You're standing in front of a huge building with a very warm foundation. The first impression is the weight and durability that can withstand both the years and the weather. His facade spreads before you as a guide to history. Dessewffy Castle was the center of activity of a significant noble family, Dessewffy. This family was one of the most influential and wealthy in Slovakia and participated in many important events in the history of the region. The manor house was their residence and the center of property management and political affairs.
The architecture of the manor house combines defensive functions with residential comfort. The facade shows both smooth and thick walls, which is a sign of strategy of the architects from the time the manor houses had to defend themselves against attacks. Windows with distinctive frames and walls have elements typical for medieval periods.
The manor house was a meeting place for nobles to discuss matters important for the future of Slovakia. There are many legends and mysteries hidden beneath its surface, such as underground paths and autumns serving as escape routes or places to hide valuables.
The manor house is not only a monument to architecture, but also a place where the past and present unite. So let's move around and know the manor house from another corner.
