History
The Hussar Manor House of Abafája was built at the beginning of the 19th century in late Baroque, neoclassical style. The manor was remodelled in the last decades of the 19th century by Baron Huszár (III.) Károly, when the romantic details were created. Next to the manor there is a very much rebuilt Baroque outbuilding with two storeys and a vaulted horse stable, both probably built by Huszár Boér József in the 18th century.
Mikes Kelemen of Zágon spent part of his childhood in the manor, since his mother, Torma Éva, was the owner of the manor, as a descendant of the Huszár family of Brenhida. It was the birthplace of the Hungarian army colonel Bethlen Gergely. The manor's guests were Archduke Charles Habsburg, the last Hungarian king, in 1901, and Baron Apor Vilmos Apos, the martyred bishop of Győr, who was later beatified, after his first mass in 1905. The writer Wass Albert and Kemény János were also frequent visitors, and Dsida Jenő was a tutor there for seven months in 1928-29. In 1912, Baron Huszár József, a participant in the activities in Romania relating to the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, was born in the manor and was executed in Arad prison on 1 September 1958.
The 30-acre park around the manor included three ponds with islands, swans, grottos, exotic plants, fountains and statues.
