Manor House in Mošovce

Considering the usage of space, the entrance parts of the ground floor are conceived in a rather grandiose style.

In the first half of the 1990s, the object was sold by the town hall to the Slovak Film Studios in Bratislava, which renovated the building and used it for recreational purposes.

At night on 14 February 1963, burning ashes in one of the chimneys ignited the shingle roof of the manor house, made of larch.

In spite of the efforts of fire brigades, the flames soared 20 meters high and people in the entire village were able to read the newspaper in the light.

The area adjacent to the manor house was used for agricultural buildings from the first half of the 19th century, and are a large U shape.

It is probable that it was very old, because when it was destroyed by fire in 1760, Baron Jozef Révay didn’t restore it, but rather decided to build a new one.

It is said, that when the Révays had their new manor house built, they had the first floor of their old residence dismantled, because supposedly they believed that the servants didn’t deserve to live in the noblemen’s chambers.

Its last owners at the beginning of the 20th century were the Révays, who didn’t need the mansion anymore, had it demolished, and turned the ground into vegetable gardens for their servants.
