The Bory Castle In Szekesfehervar

Restoration of the Hungarian Bory-vár castle, in a suburban town of Székesfehérvár, has been recently completed. This castle is now operating as a private museum.

This mysterious and beautiful place blurs the boundaries of time and space. Back in the 1912 Hungarian architect, Bory Jenő has decided to seduce the world with his vision of the contemporary elegance. He has planned to build a castle, surrounded by the forest-green alleys, statuesque monuments, fountains, belfries and towers. Jenő began the construction process in the early twentieth century and was a regular contributor to the adjustments and corrections until his death in 1957.

Unfortunately, in 1980’s the castle was already in a fading condition, was not well maintained. That is why seven of the Jenő’s grandchildren established a foundation to aggregate bigger public attention. With the money, collected from different philanthropists, subsidies and other social programs, family members were able to start the restoration process. Today, approximately 80% of its original structure and design was completely revived. The place still holds the glorious sense of the polished architectural perfection. From the lush-green garden, located in the inner yard of the castle, visitors can whiteness a contrasting slash of colors and its luminosity.
