Kőszeg, Administrative division in Kőszeg, Hungary
The town of Kőszeg spans across the western border of Hungary, featuring medieval architecture and protected fortifications along the Gyöngyös stream banks.
In 1532, Captain Nikola Jurišić led 800 soldiers in defending Kőszeg Castle against Sultan Suleiman's army of 100,000 troops during a month-long siege.
The Jurisics Miklós Gimnázium, established in 1677, maintains its position as Hungary's oldest operating international school, offering diverse educational programs.
The central district contains multiple preserved structures from different architectural periods, connected by pedestrian zones and small courtyards.
The church clocks in Kőszeg have remained fixed at 11 o'clock since 1777, marking the time of the last Ottoman assault on the town.
