Manor house - Pusté Úľany

Late Baroque mansion, which was built in 1749. The owners of the residence were members of the Zichy family. The manor house was used for administrative purposes after 1948. It has undergone so many modifications and interventions that the manor house as a historic building can no longer be mentioned. The building has been transformed into a kind of villa, which has a modernized interior.

The building in the exterior does not remind you that it is the former aristocratic residence of the Farkaš and Zichy families. The post-war reconstruction of the manor in a very negative way changed the character of the building both in the exterior and in the interior. The antiquity of the building is confirmed only by the spaces of the ground floor and basement vaulted with baroque vaults. The basement occupies only a part of the built-up area of the manor. It has three spaces vaulted with barrel vaults, which connect two vaulted corridors. On the ground floor, barrel vaults with triangular and pentagonal sections have been preserved.

The image of the appearance of the manor is documented only by period images on postcards from the beginning of the 20th century. The northwestern (main) facade of the building was seven-sided and solved symmetrically. In the middle, it had a three-axis elevated slight risalit, which protruded from the block mass of the manor covered with a hip roof. Rizalit ended with a mansard roof. The height of the floor was greater than the height of the ground floor. The corners of the building were highlighted by massive wide pilasters that ran across both floors. Rizalit was divided vertically by four pilasters, but only at floor level. The ground floor of the manor was horizontally divided by a strip of rustication finished with a cordon cornice and the first floor was finished with a crown cornice. The smaller windows of the ground floor were double-leaf, 12-pane, had a window ledge and an inner grille. The larger windows on the first floor were double-leaf, 24-pane, lined with a rectangular shabber resting on a window ledge, under which there were low rectangular mirrors at the level of the window sill. The main entrance to the manor was through a simple rectangular portal, which had a ledge at the lintel supported by volute consoles. Double-leaf doors were divided vertically by rectangular cassettes.

Around the manor there was a small park, which is shown on the cadastral map of the village from 1892.

The aristocratic residence included large areas of farm buildings that surrounded the manor house on the east and west sides. The buildings were gradually renovated, most recently in 2005 demolished a baroque ground floor building, which stood opposite the shopping center - grocery store Jednota.
