Popești, Bornemissa-Matskási manor

The Bornemissa-Matskásis manor is the biggest house of Popești village. From distance the year 1927 formed by the roof's light tiles, indicates the house's renovation year, renewed by proprietary Tischler Mór who bought the building

The later inhabitants changed pretty much the initial building's aspect but as a result of our diggings the building revealed its secrets. Of course the old park in front of the house does not exist but you can see the pillars of the old manor's entrance. Under the building a big basement spreads, vaulted. In a room an almost perfect beautiful tiled stove can be seen. Half of the building with present vaults in all rooms amaze you, cupolas in house's attic and a memorial board covered with a thick coat of dust.

The memorial board which illuminates the manor's construction surroundings was carefully placed in the attic probably by Tischler Mór in1927 when he asked for roof's renovation.

On bottom side of the stone with double symbol can be read: BUILT WITH HELP OF GOD AFTER THE DEATH OF MY BELOVED HUSBAND MATSKÁSI PÁL GENERAL MAJOR, WIDOW BARONES BORNEMISSA ANNA 1802 (translation)
