Have a look at these real-life fairytale castles in Hungary – PHOTOS
Change language:
Hungary is known for its magnificent castles. Some have kept their original form while others have been renovated. Here are some fairytale castles you must visit if you are staying in Hungary.
Edelény Castle Island
Jean-François L’Huillier started the construction of the castle in 1716 on the Edelény estate. After his death, his wife Marie-Madeleine de Saint-Croix completed it in 1730. To this day, researchers have not been able to find out who designed this unique building complex. A parking lot and service room suitable for 70 cars and 8 buses await visitors upon arrival. You can take photos in the park of the castle, in the ornamental courtyards, in the ceremonial hall, in one of the painted rooms of the western wing, in the carriage passage as well as in the staircase and the chapel.
Nádasdy Castle
The Nádasdy Castle is one of Hungary’s most beautiful neo-Gothic, Tudor-style castles, surrounded by a 24-hectare landscaped garden. You can visit the permanent exhibition where you can get to know the legendary love story of Ferenc Nádasdy and Count Ilona Zichy or read and hear about the castle building project. In addition, if the weather allows it, it is worth taking a walk in the stunning castle garden.
