The mannor - house was built by the brothers Daniel
and Pavol Eszterhazy in 1633 as a renaissance fortified
object. In 1736 it was rebuilt in baroque style. The
marble fireplaces on the first floor preserved since
that reconstruction. The present look of the mannor
- house was achieved in 1861 after a radical reconstruction
by Jozef Eszterhazy, who was inspired by romantic English
gothic. The mannor - house is surrounded by a nice park
which simplicity is in contrast with the rich decoration
of the walls.
Until 1990 the mannor - house was the seat of the Scientific
museum. From 1991 it is not used. The building needs
a complete reconstruction but the city does not have
enough finances. It is protected and secured against
devastation. The city ensures the current and the most
necessary maintenance.
