The Manor-house in Radola
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manor-house in Radola is one of the oldest historical monuments in Kysuce, Slovakia. Coincidencies of castle building are blurred. Knowledge of art-historical research set the building of the oldest part of it to the third quarter of the 16.th century. In the second half of the 17.th century the object was reconstructed, probably as a reaction to the majer development, of which the manor-house object became the center.
At that time, manor-house was a part of the budatin lordship owned by Suchonovi, whose descendents owned it till 1798, when budatin lordship came over to the ownership of Csaky family. Well-preserved manor-house in Radola represents a renessaince type of yeoman's habitation and initially it was apparently fortified by castle-wall.
