The Lederer Mansion, also known as the “Marcibányi Mansion,” is located in Čoka. It was built after 1781 when Lőrincz Marcibányi purchased the Čoka estate. The construction of the castle was completed only around 1870 by the next owner, Schwab Károly. At the end of the 19th century, Arthur and Károly Lederer acquired the estate. The property remained in the hands of the Lederer family—one of the wealthiest Jewish families of that time—until World War II. During the war, the castle was under the possession of Hermann Göring. The mansion is on the list of Immovable Cultural Heritage of Great Importance.
