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.
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.

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.
