We love castles and we went specifically to Szigetvar to visit this castle. It is made with bricks and it is quite large. The museum inside the castle is very well presented ;even a video with a re-creation of the Siege of Szigetvar. Quite dramatic. I took a video, too large to download but my eyes were a little bit wet. It was quite dramatic and being inside it is easier to imagine what a battle it was and why it is such a big part of the Hungarian History. Children were already in school and we noticed that in many historical places and museums, groups of children came to learn their history with their teachers...lovely to see. Outside this castle little ones were given a little horse ride.

I love castles. Baron János György Benyó is the original owner. The original family it is believed it died out and it became property of the Garai family. Viceroy Imre Perény owned it in the 16th Century. By 1728 the castle belonged to the counts of Batthyány. During WWII it was damaged heavily. In 1955 restoration began, at one point it was a hotel. Now it is a museum for all to enjoy. It is fantastic and a great experience. The views from the top are fantastic. We observed some of the grounds are now part of other properties with houses as the stone fence runs all the way to those properties with houses. We could see our lodging -an apartment we rented- from the top of the castle, it was quite interesting too! The building has now an elevator, so I presume that people using a wheel chair can visit. I remember seeing ramps too.
