Radoľa Manor House

Kysuce

Details on the origin of the manor house are still not fully known. Current research, based on archaeological and art-historical research, puts the origin of the oldest part of the manor house in the third quarter of the 16th century. At that time, a square two-story building with one living space on each floor was built. Originally, this was more of a residential tower, serving as a safe noble residence. Only after the addition of more rooms in the second half of the 17th century, did the building take on the character of a manor house. A hall and three living rooms were added to each floor, and the individual floors were connected by a staircase leading between the two halls.
In 1658 the manor house included manor stables, barns, a fruit garden, ponds, a brewery, a hop garden, a mill, and a sawmill. The manor house served residential purposes until 1977. In that year, its restoration as a monument began with the aim of preserving the original architectural elements. The manor house is one of the extended expositions of the Kysuce Museum in Čadca.
Permanent and temporary exhibitions are available for visitors in the manor house, and lectures and creative workshops are also held here.
