The original Renaissance manor house was built in 1614. It stands in the centre of the village, on a slight hill. It was rebuilt in Baroque style in 1741. Further modifications took place at the beginning of the 19th century. It is a two-storey building with two corner towers and a completely Baroque façade, which was richly decorated. The façade is articulated by pilasters and winged pediments above the windows. The heads of the pilasters have stucco ornamentation in the form of palmettes and fruit. Above the towers there is a small superstructure with an arcade in the manner of Renaissance attics. The rooms have Renaissance and moulded vaults with undercut lunettes. In some rooms the ceilings and walls are decorated with painted floral motifs. In one of the rooms there is a beautiful tiled stove.7
The manor was owned by the Zaturecký family, who had a chapel built in the manor's enclosure in honour of the Holy Cross. After the Zaturecký family, the landowners' property was divided so that the manor house and the garden were bought by a certain lawyer from Prešov, Dr. Kakusz Béla, and the land in the extravaganza was bought by the Haršac peasants and landowners. Dr. Kakusz sold the manor house with the garden and the outbuilding in 1919 to Juraj Žula, a citizen of the village. Since 1976 the manor house was owned by the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic and served as a depository of the State Scientific Library in Prešov.
Today it is in the hands of private owners.
