The Fortified Manor-House of Popovice was founder most probably in the 14th century and at tha t time it was a small castle consisting of a defensive tower, a chapel, chambers and an entrance tower. The present article deals with its history and state in different centuries; close attention is paid to its numerous rebuildings. And thus, in consequence of late Gothic rebuilding two wings were added; the domes and sgraffito, however, date from the Renaissance period. During the Baroque period the storey was added and the moat filled up which gave the Manor-House its present state. When in 1732 the Holy Cross Knights took possession of the Fortified Manor-House it acquired the form of a Baroque residence of the nobles and up to now it has remained almost unchanged.
