Our favorite#festetics-kastely-helikon-kastelymuzeumThe outstanding attraction of the castle is the oak staircase, where we can see a family portrait gallery unique to Hungary, depicting members of the Festetics family.
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.
Our favorite#georgikon-majormuzeumOne of the most exciting exhibits of the museum is the original, still functioning Fowler steam engine, which is usually started up on special occasions and engine meetings.
