Šipeky manor house Manor house and park

Spring brings nature to Ilava. The greenery and trees in the historical park are recovering after cold months and the morning mist adds a mysterious atmosphere to Šipeky's manor house. The area is undergoing reconstruction, so spring walks are suitable for observation of architecture from a safe distance. The sun's rays do not yet cover the thick treetop, which allows to stand out the detail of the exterior. We recommend non-promoting shoes and layered clothing, as spring weather tends to be variable and the terrain around the monument can be soaked.

The summer surrounds the Šipeky manor house with a leafy wall that provides shade. Long sunny days and intense afternoon light create conditions for outdoor photography. Nature in the park lives and buzzing insects accompanies visitors who pass by the building fences and explore the architecture. During this period, it is recommended to go to Ilava in the morning until temperatures rise too high. Remember to cover your head, plenty of fluids and repellent.

Autumn paints the surroundings of the Šipeky mansion in warm shades of red and yellow. She creates a rusty carpet under her feet, and early dimming gives melancholy times to the place. The low autumn sun creates long shadows on historical walls that are gradually renovated. For the autumn visit is suitable warm wind and solid shoes. The best time for a walk is noon, when fog will retreat, and daylight will illuminate the details of construction modifications.

Winter will cover the Šipeky mansion in silence. Snow cover and bare tree branches in the park reveal the lines and construction of the historical building. Cool air and white background create a harsh atmosphere. For a winter visit to Ilava is necessary warm clothes, quality gloves and shoes with regard to icy trails. The most pleasant light for a short walk offers early afternoon hours.
