Festetics Castle

Keszthely

Festetics Castle is a monument of outstanding importance in Keszthely. Its construction began in the mid-18th century, but it was only in the 1880s, after a large-scale reconstruction and extension, that it took its final form.

Every year, the town hosts several cultural events, some of which are organised in the Festetics Castle's banqueting hall. It has its own congress centre and theatre. The Festetics Castle also has a beautiful castle park. The 42-hectare park is a nature reserve. There are several special species of trees. The Chinese fern trees were planted in the time of George Festetics. The oldest tree is a 400-year-old Quercus robur.
