1720 · 1796–1801 Koháry, and the biggest house in townKoharyovci a najväčší dom v meste

In 1720 the royal chamber sold the Muráň estate to Štefan Koháry, and his family held it for the rest of the century; the castle itself had burned in 1702 and was never rebuilt, so the lordship was run from the valley floor. Between 1796 and 1801 Mikuláš Koháry built the manor house on the edge of Jelšava: four wings, three storeys, allegorical paintings inside, and far larger than the town required. In the following century it passed by marriage to the Saxe-Coburg family. It is the building visitors photograph today, and it is a ruin — failing roof and windows, its restoration discussed for years without result.Roku 1720 predala kráľovská komora muránske panstvo Štefanovi Koharymu a jeho rod ho držal po zvyšok storočia; samotný hrad roku 1702 vyhorel a už ho nikto neobnovil, panstvo sa teda spravovalo z dna doliny. V rokoch 1796 – 1801 postavil Mikuláš Kohary na okraji Jelšavy kaštieľ: štyri krídla, tri podlažia, alegorické maľby vnútri a oveľa väčší, než mesto potrebovalo. V ďalšom storočí prešiel sobášom na Coburgovcov. Práve túto budovu si dnes návštevníci fotia — a je to ruina s rozpadajúcou sa strechou a oknami, o ktorej obnove sa roky hovorí bez výsledku.
