Andrássy Palace

Tiszadob, Hungary

Hungarian aristocratic family, Andrassy, has been known for its lavish lifestyle. The Andrassy Palace was built in the second half of the 19th century. With multiple towers, and neo-gothic, romantic style, it resembles the French castles in the valley of the Loire. Behind the building, a well-kept English park pleases the eye, hosting concerts during the first half of August annually. The musical series are named Piano Celebration in the East. The castle itself now serves as a children's home.

During our visit, the interior of the castle was under renovation but you can still visit the exterior of the castle with the beautiful garden.

Andrássy Castle is located in the north-eastern part of Hungary, in Tiszadob. The park and the castle were built by count Gyula Andrassy (1823-1890). Visitors can walk in the park but the castle is temporarily closed due to the interior renovation. Great place for creating nice photos :-) Castlepark opening hours: (Closed on Mondays) Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00

Celje Castle

Celje Castle was once the largest fortification on Slovenian territory. The first fortified building on the site (a Romanesque palace) was built in the first half of the 13th century by the Counts of Heunburg from Carinthia on the stony outcrop on the western side of the ridge where the castle stands. It had five sides, or four plus the southern side, which was a natural defence. The first written records of the castle date back to between 1125 and 1137; it was probably built by Count Gunter. In the western section of the castle, there was a building with several floors. Remains of the walls of this palatium have survived. In the eastern section, there was an enclosed courtyard with large water reservoirs. The eastern wall, which protects the castle from its most exposed side, was around three metres thicker than the rest of the curtain wall. The wall was topped with a parapet and protected walkway.
