Szaparyovsky kastiel is a manor house on the east, lower from Burg and below the castle Považský hrad in Považská Bystrica municipality. Built was in 1676 probably by Peter Szapáray. In the interior of the manor was a chapel and school used by common people from the neighbourhood. Nowadays manor is left to dilapilate. In the vicinity of the manors was a cemetery with gravestones of Balassa family and garden with plants brought from around the world. In 1918 people driven by anger for the year under villeinage looted the manor. They burned books, destroyed everything what they found.
