Fialka mansion

Other - other

One of the ancient landowning families of the village, which emerged in the 13th century, was the Beretkey family, which emerged as a local branch of the Csoltóiak. Its members and other landed nobles built several noble manor houses in the village over the centuries. One of these is the Fialka mansion in the center of the village. The building itself was built by Zsigmond Beretkey in 1754, in the Baroque style. About a hundred years later, it came into the hands of the Fialka family through marriage. The building was once surrounded by a park, which was mostly parceled out and built on following the nationalization following World War II. The former farm buildings and servants' apartments belonging to the mansion have also survived, but unfortunately in poor condition. ; The building once housed a kindergarten, and then stood neglected and empty for many decades. The dilapidated building was renovated in 2007 and for a while the municipal government moved within its walls. After the renovation, a memorial plaque was placed on the side facade of the mansion's last owner, local landowner Margit Tornallyay, who established and maintained a famous Reformed orphanage in the village at her own expense in the first half of the 20th century. ; Today, the building houses the Gallery of the Gömör Photo Club, the village library and a painting of one of the village's patron saints, Saint Peter.
