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.
The name Iszkaszentgyörgy first appears on a 1691 seal as "ISKA ZENT GIORG", when the estate already belonged to the Amadé family. The castle later passed by marriage to the Pappenheim counts in 1870, and their name remains attached to it. In 1994 the "libacombos" scene of the film Megint tanú was shot here.
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.
