Castle tour in Zemplén


Sárospatak Castle or Rákóczi Castle, as it is known to the general public, is the most valuable work of late Renaissance architecture in Hungary and the most significant monument in Sárospatak. It is part of the Hungarian National Heritage. Permanent and temporary exhibitions, the cannon casting workshop and a walk in the castle garden complete the tour at any time of the year.

 

The next stop of the castle tour can be the Füzéri Castle, located 38 km from Sárospatak. The building complex on top of the 170-meter-high castle hill is one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Hungary. The romantic castle, which once also served to guard the holy crown, underwent a complete renovation between 2014 and 2016.
