History of the Manor house

In 1781, Countess Terézia van Dernáthová built a classicist manor house on the site of an originally wooden building. She was the granddaughter of the last male descendant of the Druget family.

The two-storey mansion building with a rectangular ground plan and bay walls on the facade was a beautiful large mansion with many rooms – bedrooms, dining rooms, guest rooms, county salons, hall, kitchen, storage rooms.

Slovakia, thanks to its geographical location, is considered the heart of Europe. However, many natives carry it in their hearts, thanks to the stunning Slovak nature, traditions, and history, which breathe through the castles and châteaux scattered across the country, the unique atmosphere of typical Slovak villages, as well as larger towns, where original Slovak gastronomy, friendly inhabitants, entertainment, and culture blend together.

Although Slovakia has a smaller area compared to surrounding countries, it offers a vast array of experiences. From natural treasures and breathtaking scenery to historical monuments and castles, all the way to worldwide unique attractions.
