Rococo-classical Révay manor house in Mošovce

The Révay Family was a noble family, who owned estates in the Turiec region until the early 20th century. Their property included i.a. the Rococo-classical manor house in Mošovce, the so-called Old Manor house demolished in the middle 20th century, the Noblemen's Mansion and the park in Mošovce, and a castle in Blatnica.

The Révay family have been known since the 13th century. They come from the region of Syrmia. In 1556 and 1635 the family was promoted to Barons and on 17th June 1723 to Counts. The coat of arms of the Masters de Reva, which can be seen at the façade of their manor house, is composed of a wolf Tenné growing from a crown of Or, holding three roses. Mošovce became the property of the Révay family in 1534, six years after the donation of king Ferdinand I. Habsburg. The last member of the family, who resided in Mošovce, was count Ferenc Révay. Today the descendants of the family live in Hungary. The last letter of the name is sometimes "i" instead of "y" in some printed versions or as an affair of modernization in the late XIXth century Kingdom of Hungary.
