History of the Manor House
The Renaissance fortified manor house with corner towers was built after 1663 on late Gothic foundations from the 15th century. In the 18th century it became the property of the family Keglevichovci and from 1812 the manor house became the property of the Odescalchi family.
The center of the building was a palace built in the style of a residential tower, with vaulted spaces and a ceremonial hall. The corner circular bastion with a circular stair tower, in which Arthur Odescalchi allegedly preferred to stay, was also very visible.
