Vsetín estate

On May 3, 1652, Juraj Ilešházi bought the estate from Mikuláš Pazmáň for 96,000 imperial tolars. The Ilešházi family owned it until 1827, when the estate passed to the illegitimate children of Štefan II. Ilešházi.

The following villages were part of the Vsetín estate:

Village Zděchov, Village Nový Hrozenkov, Nová Bystřička (Bystřička), Halenkov, Hovězí, Hrozenkov, Jablůnka, Jasénka, Janová, Kateřinice, Lhota, Mikulůvka, Pržno, Ratiboř, Růžďka, Rokytnice, Ústí, Zděchov, Part of Karlovice

It was built in 1771. Above the entrance to the church is the coalition coat of arms of Ján Baptist Ilešházi and Sidónia Baťáni.

Farmsteads represented a key source of natural and financial revenue for landowners, and their importance in Slovakia grew from the 16th century. Due to the lack of labor force and a large number of abandoned estates, the landowners tried to consolidate, cultivate, and settle these lands in order to ensure maximum benefit. The land was often leased to serfs for a levy of nine, while the farmsteads agricultural and livestock production served not only for their own consumption but also for trade within and outside Hungary. The importance of farmsteads also grew in the 17th and 18th centuries, when they were established on abandoned or purchased land. Care for the serfs was essential so that the estate did not lose labor or income. A significant decline in production occurred during the Turkish invasions in the 17th century and later during the Rákóczi Uprising at the beginning of the 18th century. Both events caused the destruction of economic facilities, a decrease in the labor force, and stagnation of production. The restoration of farms and agriculture was slow, however it ensured a gradual return to stability and development in the following decades.

built in 1828 by Štefan II. Ilešházi.

in 1680, Barbora Lippay, sister of the original owner Mikuláš Lippay, became owner of the castle and estate of Košeca. Together with her husband, Imrich Balaša, they had two daughters, Alžbeta and Žofia, who divided the estate after their mother’s death. Žofia married Pavol Motešický, and her part of the estate thus passed into his ownership. Alžbeta married Mikuláš Ilešházi, and therefore half of her estate went to him. The Ilešházi family owned this part of the estate until March 25, 1830, when Štefan II. Ilešházi sold it to Jozef Motešický for 207,373 gulden and 34 grajciars (local currency).

Church in Poruba — in 1771, Ján Baptista Ilešházi had a church built in Poruba, which was part of the Košeca estate.

Church in Košeca — built in 1804 by Štefan II. Ilešházi.

Farmstead in Trenčianska Turná — one of the most important farmsteads thanks to its extensive production and size, which by the mid-17th century stretched over approximately 440 acres. It was the center of economic administration and coordinated the activities of several manorial farmsteads in the area. It was part of the economic background of the Trenčín Castle, which the Ilešházi family acquired in 1600. In the second half of the 17th century, it was joined by the farmstead in After its demise, the cattle were moved from Nozdrkovce to the farmsteads in Trenčianska Turná, below the Trenčín castle, and in Dubnica.

Manor-house in Nemšová — The Ilešházi family acquired this building from the Balogh family in the first half of the 17th century. It mostly served as the residence for officials of the Nemšová mayor. In 1663, the Ilešházi family temporarily moved to the manor in Nemšová, probably due to incidents with the imperial military garrison, which was stationed on Trenčín Castle. This building no longer exists today.

Church in Nemšová — between 1762 and 1765, Jozef Ilešházi had a new church built, because the original one was in danger of collapsing.

Today part of Trenčianska Teplá village. In 1721–1723, Mikuláš Ilešházi had a new church built on the site of the old original church.

Vineyard “Pod Čechovkou” or “Duhé” (local name), “long vineyards” or the so-called “Veľká hora”. The first mentions of vineyards under Čechovka hill date back to 1555, when serfs could establish vineyards on Panská hora hill. In the 17th century, the vineyards were expanded by Štefan I. Ilešházi, while the management was carried out by the winemakers´ guild under the supervision of the wineyard magistrate. Viticulture was an important part of the estate but suffered during wartime events (e.g. the Rákoczi uprising), when the vineyards were neglected and the harvest was stolen.

Despite the efforts of Mikuláš (*1653 – †1723) and Jozef (*1701 – †1766) Ilešházi to increase effectivity by means of exact instructions for the administrators, wine from Zlatovce could never stand up to its competitors – the taste was sour and its price was too high. The location of the vineyards was not favorable. During major storms, fertile soil was washed away. Around 1880, phylloxera caused damage, which, together with the unfavorable location, led to the demise of the vineyards at the beginning of the 20th century.

A similar fate befell the vineyard above the village of Istebník, which was established in the 16th century, but also disappeared due to the low quality of the wine and unfavorable conditions.

The Ilešházi family finally sold the Trenčín estate in 1835, which ended their era of vineyard management.

The Ilešházi family owned this county in the years 1594–1835. In the 17th and18th century, it encompassed an area of ​​30,000 cadastral acres (around 170 km²) and included the Dubnica, Horná and Dolná Súča, and Trenčianska Turná estates. Historical documents in connection with these lands mention various buildings; sheepfolds; a brewery; mills; distilleries; barns; cellars; brickworks; lime kilns; bridges; pubs; hop, cabbage, grafting and fruit gardens; a vineyard in Zlatovce; streams and other water bodies.

List of affiliated villages:

Dobrá, Dolná Súča, Horná Súča, Drietoma, Dubnica nad Váhom, Horné Srnie, Hrabovka, Kubrá, Kubrica, Mníchova Lehota, Nemšová, Orechové, Rozvadze, Selec, Soblahov, Trenčianska Teplá, Trenčianske Teplice, Trenčianska Turná, Veľké Bierovce, Veľký Kolačín, Veľké Stankovce, Závada, Zlatovce, part of Ľuborča, Dvorec.

The Ilešházi family acquired Trenčianske Teplice in 1594, when the village with neglected thermal springs passed from the right of use by serfs to nobleman administration. In the 16th century, the spa was a poor settlement with makeshift wooden shelters and minimal accommodation options, while the springs were divided between lords and serfs. The development of the spa began only in the 18th century under Mikuláš Ilešházi, with the greatest changes being brought by his son Jozef Ilešházi. Jozef replaced the wooden buildings with brick spa houses, built inns, and introduced spa regulations. He also devoted himself to planting a park and developing social life, earning him the title „father of the Trenčianske Teplice spa.“ The development of spa continued under his successors, but in 1835, Štefan II. Ilešházi sold it to Juraj Sina, which ended the era of the Ilešházi family in Trenčianske Teplice.

In the 1740s, Jozef Ilešházi had a mansion, inspired by the Italian renaissance, built. It served not only the Ilešházi family, but also as accommodation for important spa guests. The family owned it until 1835.

Created by Dávid Ignác Zirn in 1730, a year after the canonization (consecration) of St. John of Nepomuk by the Catholic Church for Jozef Ilešházi and his wife Terézia Traun von Abensberg, at the site of the bridge over the Teplička stream.

in 1777 Ján Baptist Ilešházi had the damaged church restored and rebuilt.

Acquired by Štefan I. Ilešházi in 1594. The castle served as the family seat for a short time—already in the 1640s, the Ilešházi family began to build a more comfortable seat in Dubnica, into which they gradually moved. They also used other residences for their stay, with part of the castle being pledged to the Rákoci family. In 1704, they found temporary refuge from the Rákoci uprising in the castle, however after a fire in 1790, it lost its significance for them. It remained in the ownership of the Ilešházi family until 1835, when Štefan II. Ilešházi (*1762-†1838) sold it to its new owner, Juraj Sina.

Later seat of Trenčín County: built in 1635 by Gašpar Ilešházi (*1592-†1648) next to the former Upper Gate of the city. The owners rented it to various residents, it also served as a tavern. The Upper House belonged to the Ilešházi family until 1734. Subsequently, Jozef Ilešházi exchanged it for the older county seat at Mierové námestie square No. 22 in Trenčín.

Or so-called “Lower House”); house No. 1, Mierové námestie square, stands next to the city’s Lower Gate. This manor house has been in the ownership of Ilešházi family since 1670, finalized by the purchase of the left and neighbouring house in 1713. These building have been reconstructed in the 19th century in classicism style and served the purpose of townhouse. In the 18th century, economic meetings were held here every Sunday, sometimes also on Saturday, during which the highest officials of the county met and resolved the administration of Trenčín’s property. The building included a manor treasury with locks that could only be opened jointly by the estate administrator and the treasurer. The finances from the estate’s revenues were brought in by employees during these Sunday meetings.

The Ilešházi family acquired Dubnica on January 14, 1594. The construction of the manor-house was initiated by Gašpar Ilešházi in the 1640s, and it became one of the main residences of this family, which owned the mansion until 1835.

Juraj Ilešházi acquired the castle in 1652. The renaissance castle was built before 1610 (first mention), while the original fortress preceded it. Juraj was the only member of the Ilešházi family who had his residence in the castle and lived there permanently. After his death, the castle was used by officials and the administration of the estate. Other members of the Ilešházi family preferred other residences, for example, a residence on the Dubnica estate or the palace in Bratislava. For some time they also lived in Vienna, where they worked as royal officials at the court.

Due to the catastrophic state of the Vsetín chateau, Juraj started the construction of a new residence, which he did not finish and sold it to the church. It was later transformed into a church. Subsequently, Juraj decided to repair and rebuild the old castle. In the 18th century, the castle was partially modified in the baroque style.

In 1712, Mikuláš Ilešházi had the Plague Column of the Holy Trinity built in memory of the plague epidemic of 1710. After the plague ended, only 1,071 people out of the original 7,844 inhabitants of the city remained alive. Mikuláš Ilešházi probably invited Viennese sculptors to build the monument.

In 1770, Ján Baptista Ilešházi had a calvary with a chapel placed on a hill behind Dubnica, which was not of a great artistic value.

Family crypt of the Ilešházi family. The first written mention of the church comes from the 1220s. Since 1648, one of the side chapels and the crypt became the final resting place of several members of the Ilešházi family. The original chapel of the church underwent a baroque reconstruction in 1750-1753, based on the design of the Bratislava sculptor Ľudovít Gode, who was a student of the Austrian sculptor Georg Rafael Donner. He also created the altar of the Crucifixion and a wrought decorative lattice for Jozef Ilešházi. On the turret of the side chapel there is a white eagle with an arrow in its chest – the coat of arms of the Ilešházi family. The costs of this reconstruction were partly covered by jewelry, gold and silver buttons, which were taken from the coffins of the Ilešházi ancestors and family members buried there. In addition to the children and wife of Gašpar Helena Turzo (*1597-†1648), the children of Jozef and Štefan II. Ilešházi are also buried here. The last buried member of the family was Ján Baptista Ilešházi (*1737-†1799).

In the past, family tombs strengthened the family identity and social status of the aristocracy. They served not only as a final resting place but also as a symbol of the continuity of the family and its political power. Noble families took care of family trees and hereditary lines, and the tombs often contained family coats of arms and monuments to ancestors. The Ilešházi family placed great emphasis on choosing the location of their family crypt, and Trenčín, with its historical significance, was the center of their family burial ground. Although some members of the family were buried elsewhere, the majority preferred Trenčín. In addition to ensuring the administration of their estates, the Ilešházi family also paid considerable attention to choosing their final resting place. This is evidenced by the fact that even after centuries, the space, the design of the sculptures, and the appearance of the chapel with the majestic family coat of arms reflect the uniqueness of this place and the family members buried in the crypt.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, Gašpar, Juraj, and Jozef Ilešházi sought to build a family crypt. While Rohovce and especially Eliášovce were considered the ancestral property of the family, from which they derived their origin, the choice of Trenčín as the location of the family tomb corresponded to the importance of the Trenčín estate in the life of the Ilešházi family.

Although some members of the family found their final resting place outside of Trenčín, the majority preferred the tradition and symbolic significance of this city, where a family cemetery was gradually built. Most members of the family are buried in Trenčín today, in two places—in the Parish and Piarist churches.

The first family tomb was created in Eliášovce, where the continuity of the family was symbolically closed after the death of Štefan II. Ilešházi (†1838), the last male descendant.

A former Jesuit church built in the 1650s. Its construction was supported by the zealous Catholic Juraj Ilešházi. He bought the Bársony House for the Jesuits and invested in the construction of three altars and equipment for the new church. Below the Chapel of the Holy Trinity, formerly the Chapel of the Virgin Mary (17th century), there was a crypt/tomb of the Ilešházi family. It is t final resting place of Juraj Ilešházi (†1689), his wife Mária Forgáč (*1625-†1684), and his daughter Helena (*1646-†1669). His son Štefan (*1645-†1649) died in childhood and was buried in the Parish Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. It is also the final resting place of Juraj’s other wives, Eva Kristína Róza Korniss (†1685) and Johanna Lavínia Bucelleni (*1628-†1688). The children of Mikuláš Ilešházi and Alžbeta Balaša were also buried here. The wife of Jozef Ilešházi, Anna Františka Čáki (*1703-†1729), also found her final resting place here.

Restored and consecrated at the request of Juraj Ilešházi by the Archbishop of Esztergom Juraj Lipaj, on October 3, 1661. He was the one who had the statue of the Virgin Mary made, which, according to tradition, was transported to the Church of St. Jacob in Dubnica nad Váhom. The statue became an object of great interest as well as a pilgrimage site. People have visited it since the 18th century. According to the diary of Ján Guzics, the wedding between Katarína Ilešházi and Pavol Baťáni, who converted from the evangelical to catholic faith, took place at Trenčín Castle. On the same day, the castle chapel was consecrated by the Esztergom archbishop J. Lipaj. According to this diary, when Gabriel Ilešházi died in Bytča at 2 o’clock in the morning on January 12, 1667, he was to be buried in the crypt of the Trenčín Castle chapel on April 28, 1667. Other sources state that Gabriel should be buried in the Parish Church among the other Ilešházi family members.

A Renaissance epitaph with a statue from 1648 — was built together with the chapel by Helena Turzo, widow of Gašpar Ilešházi. “… at the age of 56 years, 5 months, and 15 days on April 11, 1648, he happily fell asleep in the Lord.”, states the epitaph. Less than a year after her husband’s death (April 2, 1649), Helena and her relatives had a second memorial tombstone made and placed in the church. At the time of the epitaph, the church was Evangelical. The Evangelist Gašpar forcibly took it from the Catholics in 1610. His son Juraj, as a zealous Catholic, returned the church to the Catholics.

18th century. Jozef Ilešházi is depicted here in a half-length portrait. He died in 1766. The author of the epitaph is Ľ. Gode.

17th century. Another tombstone dedicated to her husband Gašpar was placed by Helena on the left under the choir in 1649. On the right under the choir is the tombstone of the children of Gašpar Ilešházi, who did not reach adulthood. Imrich Ilešházi died in 1616, Štefan Ilešházi in 1619, and Adam Ilešházi in 1621.

From 1766, this statue owes its existence to Ján Baptista Ilešházi and his wife Sidónia Regina Baťáni.

In 1733, Jozef Ilešházi built an orangery in which they grew mainly citrus fruits, i.e., lemons, oranges and figs.

Vienna House — residence of the Ilešházi family from 1721 to 1723 Mikuláš Ilešházi resided as a chamberlain of the Kingdom of Hungary and royal court chancellor in Vienna, where he lived with his family in the so-called Madelspergisches Haus on Wollzeil Street, near St. Stephen´s Cathedral (Wollzeile 12, Schullerstraße 7). This house no longer stands today; it was replaced by a new building. It was named after the Mädelsperger family, which had owned it since 1637. In 1715, the house was acquired by Karl Wolfgang von Lebzelten, and his family owned it until 1797. Unfortunately, this house was rebuilt several times in the 19th century and in the mid-20th century.

Zwolferisches Haus — the office in Vienna, where the Ilešházi family performed their courtly functions, was located on the so-called Fleischmarkt.
