An interesting fact#festetics-kastely-helikon-kastelymuzeumAccording to the tradition, Lady Mary Hamilton, of Scottish and British noble descent, arrived to Keszthely with a train loaded with furniture. She brought portraits of her family members and then, together with her husband, enriched further their castle.
Hint#helikon-park-es-helikon-emlekmuHave you ever been to the Helikon Park? On the park grounds a dog run and agility course was created, which can be visited free of charge every day of the week from 0 to 24 hours.
Hint#georgikon-majormuzeumThe play barn may be interesting for today's children, since peasant children used to lounge in the soft straw, play hide and seek. Now there is the possibility to experience this carefree game with the help of the climbing ropes, hanging bars and climbing walls placed in the barn.
Hint#festetics-kastely-parkjaThe castle park is a popular location for wedding photography, especially in the summer.
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.We have selected for you
