Schossberger Castle

Unfortunately, this castle was closed in the fall of 2016 due to renovation, and there is no information about the reopening dates yet. However, you should still take a look at the building from the outside if you happen to be around. The castle is called the “Little Sibling of the Opera House” because of its neo-Renaissance style.
Wenckheim Castle
Szabadkígyós, Békés County
Miklós Ybl designed this fantastic neo-Renaissance building for Krisztina Wenckheim, the customer. According to her unusual request, the castle has as many windows as there are days in a year, as many rooms as there are weeks in a year, and as many entrances, as there are seasons in a year. There are also bedrooms, dining rooms, a winter garden, a library, a chapel, a lady’s music saloon, and a gentlemen’s saloon as well.
Nádasdy Castle

This lovely castle has a romantic story. When Ferenc Nádasdy married Ilona Zichy, they started planning their life together. They wanted to build the castle, but in the meantime, Ilona passed away. However, Miklós finished the castle as a tribute to their love and never married another woman in his life.
