The OKOLIČNÉ mansion:

The OKOLIČ mansion was originally a renaissance mansion. It was built in the 17th century in the place of an older curia built by Ján IV. Older Okoličiansky.  Together with the gothic Church of St. Peter of Alcantara it is the dominant feature of the East part of the City of Liptovský Mikuláš – Okoličné city district, located in the popular tourist area with excellent transportation accessibility and view of the High and the Low Tatras.

Location of the mansion:

The mansion is build on a flat, fenced and maintained lot in the vicinity of the Váh river, separated from the main road by a mark with access from three cardinal points. It also has a garden with rare trees.  The building underwent reconstructions in different historic periods from the 17th century to the present, and it is registered in the Central Register of the Heritage Fund as a National Cultural Monument. An area of 15,261 m2 with a maintained park with valuable trees and a groundskeeper house belong to the mansion that has four top floors and one underground floor.

History of the mansion:

The inner core of the castle dates back to the 17th century. It has a regular internal layout with an entrance hall in the center and vaults with stucco ridges. The center of the mansion is a Renaissance hall with a fireplace and entrances to other rooms. The knights’ room contains and fireplaces with walls decorated with the family’s coat of arms. The staircase went to the manor and guest rooms. Originally, the building was positioned in the center of a vast garden, however, only a part of the garden to the North of the original mansion has been preserved.  The mansion underwent several modifications in the 17th century and gained a Baroque appearance. The second Baroque reconstruction was in 1760, which lead to the construction of the second floor, the entrance portal and the corner window bays with onion roof. The facade changed its appearance. Painted built-up columns and decorative pilasters were added. Despite these two Baroque reconstructions the mansion preserved its Renaissance nature with corner window bays and Renaissance windows.  The Okoličné mansion gradually underwent an extensive reconstruction since 2002, whereby a service building was added and trees were planted in the garden to enlarge it to its current area of 1.25 ha.
