The walls of arcades on the courtyard are decorated by paintings and portraits of the dukes. The six-storied tower with the Renaissance graffiti decoration stands in the centre of the northern wing of the compound.
Another building in the area is that referred to as the Wedding Palace, the only of the kind in Slovakia. Its owner, Paladin Juraj Thurzo had it built in 1601 for wedding feasts of his seven daughters. Today they serve for exhibitions. The State Regional Archives were moved to the manor.
Interestingly, the Slovak national hero Juraj Jánošík served his military service at the manor at the beginning of the 18th century.
