The town has played a significant role since the Roman Empire rule because it was here that the road connecting Acquincum with Rome crossed.
The development of the settlement is in connection with Count Festetics Gyorgy, who was fond of fine arts. That is why he founded a High School, which even nowadays, is one of the richest private libraries in Europe. Original manuscripts of Hayden, Pleyel and Goldmark can be found in the Count’s collection of notes!
The castle itself was built and enriched generation after generation. The Quest Wing was finished in 1887, and it’s addition made the castle become one of the most considerable architectural masterpieces in Central Europe, and it’s park formed at that same time one of the most beautiful parks found in all of Europe!
The castle has been functioning as home for musical masterpieces since 1986, according to the art and science supporting traditions of the Festetics Family.
