An interesting fact#helikon-strandDid you know? This used to be the princely beach, the Festetics family also swam here, from here comes the origin of the name Helikon.
Our favorite#amazon-haz-latogatokozpontGyörgy Festetics the 3th's Louis Vuitton travel trunk is considered an outstanding piece, which in terms of size can be compared to a wardrobe. It is interesting that the gentleman's travel trunk was later left to his butler, in exchange for his services.
An interesting fact#nepviseletes-babamuzeumThe museum launched a competition with the help of the children's magazine Napsugár from Cluj, in which they asked schoolchildren and their parents to send in the traditional clothing of their locality. Some opinions say that this happened at the last minute, as folk traditions are beginning to fade in Transylvania. Similarly, traditional clothing arrived from Upper Hungary, Southern Hungary, and Transcarpathia.
An interesting fact#romai-kori-erod-fenekpusztanAccording to research, after the end of the Roman period, the survival of a Roman community can be observed in the area. Archaeology calls this community the Keszthely culture, and evidence of their faith is provided by an early Christian basilica and rich finds from 6th century graves.
An interesting fact#magyarok-nagyasszonya-plebaniatemplomIn 1896, the then parish priest asked Miksa Róth to make the stained glass windows of the church. He had worked on famous buildings such as the Parliament, and even left his mark in distant Mexico City. The windows he made for the church on the Main Square are still visible in their original state, with the exception of a few that suffered from the bombing during the Second World War.Gastronomy
