The settlement of Hodkovce, which was originally the owner of Spiš Castle, is also administratively subject to Žehra. It is mentioned as early as 1293. There is a Čák manor house from the 17th century. with a French park, the Čákiov family cemetery and farm buildings. It was rebuilt in 1780.

Baroque - Classicist manor house with a large park and a newer northern wing built in the historicist style. In the 17th century founded by the new owners of the castle estate Csákyovci - in Hodkovce majer, which also included a residential building. At the beginning of the 18th century, when the rebel troops of František Rákóczi seized the damaged and dilapidated Spiš Castle, Štefan Csáky had a comfortable Baroque mansion built in Hodkovce in 1702. It was ground-floor with a U-shaped floor plan. there is also a large park next to it. In the same year, Spiš Castle burned down and the then owner had a large part of the weapons and internal equipment, which had been located in the castle until then, had been transferred to a comfortable manor house. In 1860, they added another wing in the historicist style, which gave the building a closed four-wing layout.

The ground floor mansion has a representative wing oriented towards the park, the facades are divided by longitudinal windows lined with a strip of shambrana, incorporated into lysine frames. In the middle of the facade there are two windows, on the sides with pilasters and a cornice head, above the windows in a semicircular pediment there is a stucco ornamentation. Above them is a large baroque shield, originally with vases on the sides. The raised terrace in front of part of the facade is accessible by a two-armed staircase. It has a conical railing. On the corners of the main wing, facing the park, there are elevated multi-storey pavilions, reminiscent of towers with mansard roofs.

In the individual spaces there are Prussian and trough vaults and flat ceilings, some with fabions. In the representational spaces there are large double-wing doors and in the central hall on a flat ceiling there is a historical ornamental painting. There is a cassette dome in the vestibule of the main entrance. The interior of the manor house was moved to the collections of the Furniture Museum in Markušovce in 1959, which is part of the East Slovak Museum in Košice. In the extensive park there are four mythological statues, a chapel from 1803, romantically adapted in 1885 and the remains of small romantic architectures.
