Stop for a moment and see the atmosphere of this place. In the past, the manor houses were centers of power, but also places of rest. Hunting sites had a specific function; they were not just luxury residences, but strategic points for organising hunting, which were one of the most important social rituals in the times of the aristocracy.

Looking at the facade, try to visualize the past arrival of the guests, the way the hunting teams produced and the way things related to the gesture of surrounding forests and nature were handled in these areas. Feel the rhythm of the windows and the overall composition of the facade. Although we do not know exactly in which century the building was completed in its present form, its appearance typically reflects the function of the hunting estate, where practicality was associated with the need for representativeness.
