(The Manor House in Jablonica from the Point of View of Its Historical and Architectural Development) – PDF
Abstract:
From the Middle Ages, Jablonica was part of the Korlátka Castle estate which, in the second half of the 16th century, was divided between several owners. As a consequence, what had originally been a single estate now came to have multiple noble residences. These residences also served as the economic and administrative centres of their respective areas. The manor house in Jablonica is one such residence. Research into the architectural development of the manor house has identified six stages of construction. The first stage, during the Renaissance, took place before 1580, during the time of Gašpar (III) Pongrácz. A two-floor block was constructed using stone. The second stage, still within the Renaissance, took place in the first third of the 17th century and brought forth an enclosed, four-winged layout. It may have been Daniel (I) Pongrácz who ordered the reconstruction, after he became the baron in 1608. However, archival sources do not rule out the possibility that it was his son, Štefan (II) Pongrácz, who completed the building. The third, Baroque stage, 1722 – 1723, was initiated by Ladislav Korlátköy. It involved the construction of a modern Baroque structure which has been preserved until the present day, following a design by Franz Partenhaußer, a master bricklayer from Bratislava. During the fourth stage of construction which followed a classical style and took place sometime after 1800, some of the interior acquired a high-quality finish inspired by Viennese Classicism. These works were ordered by the Imperial and Royal Chamberlain, Jozef Apponyi Sr., probably after his promotion to the count in 1808. The fifth, eclectic stage that took place before 1899, initiated by Count Anton Apponyi and Princess Maria von Montenuovo, was responsible for the present-day facade and interior surface finish. The sixth stage of construction consisted of a number of 20th century utilitarian and inappropriate modifications, which followed no particular style.
