Amade-Bajzáth-Pappenheim-Károlyi Castle, Baroque palace in Iszkaszentgyörgy, Hungary.
The Amade-Bajzáth-Pappenheim-Károlyi Castle is a palace in Iszkaszentgyörgy, made up of two main wings connected by a corridor. The facade features Neo-baroque ornaments, stone pillars, and decorative window frames.
The original building was constructed in 1735 under Amadé Antal. In 1764, Amadé Tádé added the eastern wing, which considerably expanded the complex.
Part of the building now serves as a primary school, giving it a daily life far removed from its original role as a noble residence. Children move through rooms that once belonged to some of Hungary's most prominent aristocratic families.
Since part of the building is used as an active primary school, not all areas are open to visitors. Visiting outside school hours allows for a quieter look at the exterior and the surrounding grounds.
The formal garden surrounding the castle was designed by gardener Schusstig in the early 1900s, with geometric patterns and terraced levels that are rarely found in this state in Hungary. It stands as one of the few surviving examples of this garden style in the country.
