google maps

The mansion dominates the village and it is a cultural site of architecture and a proof of former nobility dwelling. Builders of the original building are not known, though today?s preserved building had been ordered to be built by Karel Václav Beess from Chrostina in the 18th century in a baroque style as a two-storey building. In the first half of the 19th century, the mansion was rebuilt in a Silesian empire style according to a plan of the Viennese architect Josef Kornhäusel and by the end of 19th century there was annexed a third floor. The mansion used to be a residence of the Beess family, the country estate owners who in winter time used to stay in Vienna and for summer they were coming to stay in Hnojník. The squire George Beess was the last member of the family to stay and live there. Most of the family members had reached their carriers in professional and courtly authorities within the Těšín princedom in 18th and 19th century; and they had stayed there even after the decline of Austria-Hungary era. On the local catholic cemetery, the Beess family had their family crypt built and many of them were buried there. After 1945 the Beess' property was confiscated. And after 1948 the last parts of the mobiliary where moved to depositories of the Šternberk castle in Moravia where it stayed until 1999. By the act of nationalization ends more than 200-year era of this mansion which still remains as a silent witness of the old times and orders when the Beess family from Chrostina had belonged to the important Silesian nobilities and significantly had made a mark in the history of the Těšín princedom. Nowadays, this highly decayed mansion is being under construction by his new owner.
