On April 12, 2022, we organized another lecture in the cultural house in Ladce with the help of the Ladce municipality, dedicated to the past of Ladce municipality. The topic of the lecture was this time the Motešický family, with an emphasis on the period when members of the family owned the local manor house, i.e. from the 1st half of the 20th century to the 1st half of the 20th century. 18th century to the last quarter of the 19th century. The author of the lecture was our colleague and member of our team Tomáš Michalík, an expert on the local history of Central Povazie. The lecture presented the results of genealogical and historical research, supported by the EEA and Norway Grants within the MaHoLa project. Some of the findings were presented here for the first time, helping to uncover unsuspected connections and at least a little insight into the past of a noble family that owned several manors and estates, especially in western Slovakia. We were amazed to discover that not only did people from as far away as Žilina and Bratislava travel to the lecture, but that it was also attended by bearers of the surname Motešický! For those who missed the lecture, but also for those interested from the ranks of professionals and the general public, we make the lecture available free of charge. We will continue our research. We look forward to your questions.
