Almásy Mansion, Tarnaméra, police museum
The Almásy Mansion is a brick building in central Tarnaméra with a rectangular footprint and mansard roof built in late baroque style around 1780. Inside, the structure features a grand central hall divided by arches, spacious rooms with vaulted basement ceilings, ornate arched windows, and interior frescoes depicting family scenes and seasonal themes.
The mansion was built around 1780 by the Almásy family and later purchased by the Schossberger family. Following nationalization during the Second World War, it served as a school and remained vacant for years until opening in 1996 as a police museum.
The Almásy name reflects the noble family that originally built and shaped the mansion. The rooms display frescoes showing family scenes and seasonal imagery, while its current role as a police museum connects local law enforcement history with the building's heritage.
The mansion is centrally located on Árpád út street in Tarnaméra and easy to reach. The surroundings are quiet with landscaped gardens, and visitors can comfortably walk through the building and its exhibition spaces.
Hidden beneath white paint were old frescoes that workers rediscovered during restoration. The museum houses one of the world's largest collections of police uniforms from different countries and eras.
