Astonishing Hungarian castle in Southern Transdanubia to be modernised soon

The Castle of Simontornya, a charming 13th-century Renaissance castle located in Southern Transdanubia, is set to undergo a significant modernisation. While the castle is still in relatively good condition, there is always room for improvement. Plans are in place to upgrade its infrastructure, and the castle will soon offer a new virtual reality (VR) experience, providing unique insights into the history of the town and its remarkable castle.

Boosting local tourism

Lelépő notes that the Castle of Simontornya is set to undergo major development, aimed at preserving its historical legacy while offering modern experiences to attract contemporary visitors. With a substantial grant of HUF 236 million (EUR 593,961) secured by the local municipality, the project will not only enhance the castle’s appeal but also introduce new services to create memorable experiences for tourists. This investment is expected to boost the local economy and elevate the town’s status as a tourist destination.
