Castle of Füzér

The Castle of Füzér rises on a volcanic rock summit at five hundred fifty-two meters elevation, featuring restored white walls, defensive towers, and fortifications constructed primarily from stone and wood materials.

First documented around twelve sixty-four during the Árpád dynasty, the castle passed through ownership of noble families including the Rozgonyi, Drugeth, Perényi, and Báthory before being dismantled in the seventeenth century following the Wesselényi conspiracy.

The castle hosts cultural programs including medieval craft workshops, historical reenactments, live music concerts in the restored chapel, and educational activities designed for various age groups to explore Hungarian heritage.

The castle opens from ten in the morning to four in the afternoon during the season, offering guided tours, historical exhibitions, visitor facilities, parking areas, and tickets available for different visitor categories.

Visitors can bake their own bread using an authentic medieval oven located in one of the castle courtyards, experiencing traditional cooking methods from centuries past under guidance.
