The first is located in the side of the park, the second on the upper side of the village towards the river Váh. Even in the 70s of the 20th century, the oldest houses in the village were clay and brick houses with a saddle and hip roof from the 19th century. They are typical of a columned attic accessible from the facade. The courtyard building has a columned attic accessible by a gate from the front of the house. The columns are wooden or brick. Narrow courtyards are closed by slab gates. There is also a deep development of courtyards with apartments. Behind the living area there are stables, on the barns. A special feature of the village are the cellars in the courtyards and they have a drain entrance on the front floor, similar experts have found, for example, in the village of Pastuchov (also the district of Hlohovec). The stairs to the cellar lead through a barrel vault, part of the vault is below the ground surface.
