About
The manor house in Plášťovce is an early 18th-century Baroque-Classicist building commissioned by General Ferenc Palásthy, which today serves as a church school.
The manor house in Plášťovce is located in the village of the same name near the town of Šahy, in the Levice District of the Nitra Region. It was commissioned by General Ferenc Palásthy at the beginning of the 18th century, close to the local church. In its early years it served, among other purposes, as a venue for county assemblies, and its total grounds — including the building, courtyard, garden, and park — covered nearly six hectares.
The manor was originally built in the Baroque style, but underwent a transformation into Classicism during the 19th century. On the front façade, the coat of arms of the Palásthy family is prominently displayed within a triangular gabled niche, serving as a lasting reminder of the estate's original owners.
Towards the end of the 20th century the interior was renovated, and since 2000 the building has been used by a church school. The restoration of the exterior was completed in 2005. The surrounding grounds continue to play an important role in local community life, regularly hosting village festivals and various cultural events.
