Lenora manor house
The manor house was built in 1840's during the life of Wilhelm Kralik as a mansion of his family. The house consisted only of the ground-floor rooms unfolded in a rectangular around a small grass court separated from the house by a glassed corridor. All rooms and halls were over-decorated with hunting trophies from the surrounding forests. The coat of arms of the Kraliks family was displayed above the entrance (after bestowing of the title Ridder von Meyrswalden in 1877). At the opposite side behind the court there were stables, rooms for servants and farm buildings. The house was surrounded by pergolas of roses and the garden with abundant beds of flowers, fruit trees and strawberry beds was situated behind the building.
The big sign above the entrance went Eleonorenhain. One of the halls housed the museum of glassware made by the Lenora glass-makers. A small turret with a bell overhung the roof. Beyond the manor house there was a park and garden with woody species enclosed with a stone wall.
The house was deteriorating after 1945. In 1980's it was sold to Elektrárny Tušimice (Tušimice Power Station), which adapted it for recreational purposes. Today the building has a private proprietor and houses a restaurant.
