The manor house (kaštieľ, castellum) at Teplička nad Váhom had an outstanding position for almost 30 years in the time of Stephen Dersffy and his sons Nicholas and Francis. After its completion, these aristocrats abandoned the hilltop castle of Strečno as their permanent residence. They did this in accordance with the trend of the time in the county of Trenčín, to build comfortable Renaissance manor houses with sufficiently impressive rooms. The Wesselenyi family enlarged the manor house to its present size. There was an extensive reconstruction in the Rococo spirit in the second half of the 18th century. The imperial aristocrat Joseph Windischgrätz gave the manor house a form fully corresponding to the trends of imperial Vienna. He showed that the architectural projects of the imperial aristocracy were among the most advanced in the Kingdom of Hungary.

The article focuses on the conclusion of Alfred III of Windischgrätz‘s life, when the prince had to cope with the demise of the Habsburg monarchy and the establishment of the first Czechoslovak Republic. It proves that although this aristocrat was a highly prominent Cisleithanian politician, he was not perceived negatively in Czech political circles given his affiliation with the so-called conservative party of the grand estates. The author suggests that this fact may have influenced the relatively benevolent implementation of the inter-war land reform on the family estates. The prince, who acquired Austrian citizenship after the war, was the largest Austrian landholder in Czechoslovakia. His domain, with its core in western and south-western Bohemia, included the Jablonica estate in western Slovakia. The author pays particular attention to the fate of this part of the family estate. He analyses the course of the land reform there, including the transfer of part of the forests to the Ministry of National Defence for the purposes of a military shooting range, the allocation of the residual estates, etc., in the broader context of the Windischgrätz domain in Czechoslovakia. It proves that Alfred III sacrificed a considerable part of the Jablonica estate in an attempt to secure better conditions for the reform in Bohemia. His endeavours were successful and he was able to protect most of the original family domain; in the case of the Jablonica estate, it was only a small fragment for the reasons mentioned above. The author sees the reasons for the relative success of the prince and his heirs in the negotiations with the Czechoslovak state on the implementation of the reform primarily in their willingness to reach an agreement. Conversely, the fact that the Windischgrätzs were able to rely on the support of Austrian diplomacy is considered to be a marginal factor. Its role in the struggle to preserve the family property, as the author shows, was not very significant.
