Vite in Ladce and approach the mystery of the manor house Motešický
You stand in front of one of the most beautiful and funniest castle complexes in Slovakia - the manor house of Motešický, which was squeezed into the country as an untouched treasure. In front of you there is a complex of six objects that together form a unique whole: the main manor house, the small chapel of St. Valentine's Day, the elegant gazebo, the two-line alley, the old-fashioned park and the greenhouse, which can remind you of somewhere from the argument. Note the atmosphere that is spoken here in every stone, in every line of walls and in the silence that exists here. Each of these objects has its storytelling layer, and today we will try to reveal some of them.
The origin of the Motešický manor house has not come into history today, but its existence dates back to the time when the manor houses were developed in our territory as a symbol of power and culture. The area was built at a time when the Slovak country changed when inherited traditions met with new artistic tendencies. The manor house was probably built for the Motesque family, who settled here and became its first owners. Although it is not known either the year of creation, nor the name of the architects who gave it shape, it is evident that it was designed to be harmoniously incorporated into the surroundings. See how the mansion adheres directly to nature, how its windows open to the forest and to the fields surrounding it. This is one of the greatest lies - that the manor house is not only a building but part of the country.

See how this small building differs from the main manor house - its simplicity and modesty contrast with the grandeur of the main building. The chapel is here like a little treasure hidden between trees and greenery, which may remind you of something from the past when people prayed and lived in harmony with God.
In the area of the manor house there is also a double row alley, which brings you to the main object. This alley is one of the most beautiful elements of the whole complex. See how trees take turns in a two - row arrangement, how their crowns touch and form a sine that can remind you of somewhere in the barn. Aleja is here as a symbol of friendship and harmonious harmony with nature. Every tree here has its place, everyone here feels like part of the whole. See how the human hand and nature meet here - alley here is like a connection between the manor house and the world that surrounds it.
In the park, which surrounds the mansion, there is also a greenhouse, which is one of the most interesting elements of the whole complex. The greenhouse here is a symbol of old-fashioned culture and interest in nature. Note how glass surfaces with wooden structures are flowing down here, how a unique atmosphere is created that can remind you of somewhere from the past.
