BOTANIQ Castle of Tura is often called a fairytale castle, owing to the building’s mesmerising looks that would perfectly fit into a fairytale anytime. Now, the castle has achieved another huge success. Keep on reading to find out more about it.

As we reported a while ago, BOTANIQ Castle of Tura received international tourism recognition twice in 2021. It received the Booking.com Traveller Review Award for 2021 in January and won the Best European Castle Hotel 2021 award at the International Travel Awards 2021 in October.

Now, as Roadster reported, Pagony Landscape and Garden Architects Kft. (Pagony Táj- és Kertépítész Kft.), which carried out the reconstruction of BOTANIQ Tura Castle Park, has received a prestigious award in the Landscape Architecture Award 2021 competition, winning the title of the best in the category of heritage conservation projects and historic gardens.

Dr Ágnes Herczeg’s entry was evaluated by a jury of ten experts, and the landscape architect’s office was awarded the prize for its five-year reconstruction work in the castle park.

As we can learn from the original website of the castle, the charm of the fairytale castle does not come only from the Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Baroque elements but also from the love story that can be felt in every corner of the building. The castle was built by magnate and wholesale produce merchant Baron Zsigmond Schossberger for his wife, Teresa Mayer von Gunthof.

BOTANIQ Castle of Tura is surrounded by a lovely ten-and-a-half-hectare park of mature trees, which has been restored according to the original garden design and based on research into the history and architecture of the garden. Most of the works of Hungarian garden art have been destroyed throughout the centuries of history. This is exactly why it is extremely rare for a castle and its garden to survive in a salvageable state.

Tura is one of them, and it was therefore of paramount importance for the developer to restore the park to its original state, in accordance with the legacy of the two original designers of the park, Ármin Petz and Vilmos Jámbor.

According to Dr Ágnes Herczeg, the chief designer of Pagony Landscape and Garden Architects Kft., the preservation of quality guarantees the future success of the castle garden. She believes that the garden is not only a work of art, it is a living, breathing organism that needs attention. The Tura Castle Park is a jewel of garden heritage, offering a glimpse of the high standard of Hungarian garden art and garden culture.
