PHOTOS: Spectacular Hungarian Baroque castle to be beautifully renewed
Change language:
The Carpathian Basin Arts School (Kárpát-medencei Művészeti Népfőiskola) envisioned an aquatic theme cultural centre in a more than 300 hundred years old castle in Hungary. Of course, they will beautifully renew the buildings that are now devastated.
The castle will be entirely renewed
The NGO plans to create a cultural centre in the ruined Meszleny Castle located in Velence, a small village on the shores of Hungary’s third biggest lake, Lake Velence. Therefore, the art school published a public procurement tender on kozbeszerzes.hu, Hungary’s official public procurement website.
The U-shaped castle is in a poor condition currently, and the foundation behind the organisation would like to renew its interior and exterior. In the 2021 autumn, preservative works started on the building because it was in a life-threatening condition. Furthermore, the castle’s roof was renewed, Magyar ÉpÃtÅ‘k wrote.
László L. Simon, the director of Hungary’s National Museum and a member of the art school board shared some photos of the ruined castle on his Facebook page. They show as if the buildings were at the centre of a battle between two armies. However, he also showed how the building would look after its renovation.
