An interesting fact#festetics-kastely-helikon-kastelymuzeumDuring the Second World War, the building was bricked up, thus protecting the collection of valuable treasures from looting.
An interesting fact#amazon-haz-latogatokozpontOn the wall of the Amazon House is a plaque indicates that in 1798 the Hungarian poet Mihály Vitéz Csokonai stayed here, and István Simon commemorated the occasion in his poem "Csokonai in the Inn" with these words:
"I imagine that Vitéz was also here,
I golden letters kake me remember.
The ceiling, the beam, even the lime,
And the pipe, as he saw it, still smokes."
An interesting fact#keszthelyi-gasztronomiaDid you know? It is thanks to Taszilo Festetics II that there are a good number of almond trees in our area. The prince wanted to give his wife pleasure with the sight of the trees blooming in spring, and also they were planted in place of the vineyards during the phylloxera plague, so they had economic significance as well. If you want to have an ice cream, be sure to try Festetics' almond kiss!
An interesting fact#keszthelyi-templomokAt the consecration of the church, the famous writer of the age, Zsigmond Móricz, paid his respects.
An interesting fact#keszthelyi-setaloutcaAt the end of the Promenade Street is the Simon House, built around 1790, where the country's first beauty queen, Böske Simon, was born in 1909. At the age of 16, she was chosen as the beauty of the Promenade of Keszthely, and then in 1926 she was chosen as the Fairy of the Balaton. In 1929 she became "Miss Hungary" and then "Miss Europe".We have selected for you
