The Podmaniczky-Vigyázó Castle

There is a wonderful building in Rákoskeresztúr, which was built in 1760. Originally built in the Baroque style, it still to this day represents that wonderful era in architecture. It currently functions as an event centre, hosting weddings and conferences with great success. Its ceremonial hall and garden are great for those wanting to relax in a culturally refreshing environment.

The Malonyai Castle

Halásztelek boasts this beautiful castle, only 20 minutes from Csepel, which the locals are rightfully proud of. It currently houses the local government, so sadly it’s not open to visitors on the inside. However, the outside of the building and the surrounding park are enjoyable regardless, especially once you visit one of the nearby patisseries.

The Wahrmann-Andrássy Castle

Tóalmás is rightly famous for this historical building because it is truly breathtaking. Built during the millennium, its luxurious Baroque style is truly dazzling. The rooms and the expertly groomed English garden are open to visitors on specific days. You can get there by bus from Örs vezér Square.
