It's a place that invites you to stop, to reduce the pace, and to think about the stories that may have happened in these walls.

Although the exact chronology of the creation of this building is not detailed in the available records and the names of architects remained in the forgotten, the very existence of the manor house tells us much about the history of local noble or possessive families. Manor houses in the region served not only as representative settlements but were often the centres of administration of the estate, where the economy and the lives of the local population were managed. The name Kornhaizer bears the mark of an administrative function, since such buildings were often connected with the authorities or grain warehouses, making them the key economic nodes of the municipality.

Now that you are right in front of the building, I recommend paying attention to the overall appearance of the object. Note its proportions and the way it defines the space around you. Look at the facade and see the rhythm of windows and inputs.

Follow the details that have survived through time trials and try to imagine how this space wiped out life tens or hundreds of years ago.

Who were the Pechys, and what secrets does this house cover? History often silences about smaller noble families, but they shaped the face of our towns and villages. Every step you have taken today towards this mansion has led you to a place that was once the center of social life. Imagine here morning discussions about harvests, visits to guests from surrounding places, or quiet evenings in the light of candles, when important family and property matters were dealt with here. Although today we do not have the specific names of personalities associated with this place within the legend, the building itself is a living monument to all those people who lived and worked here.

You may now wonder why there are so few written details about this place. That is where the gewisse romance lies and the mystery of this place. Every detail you see today is like a piece of puzzle that you have to fold yourself in your imagination. Why is the building called Kornhaizer? What secrets do her cellars have or undersinters? It is this unknownness that makes us more aware of the present moment and seek answers in the atmosphere of the place itself than in the dry facts of historical books.
