Episcopal palace, Sümeg, Baroque episcopal palace in Sümeg, Hungary
The episcopal palace stands behind Sümeg castle, featuring multiple decorated rooms that showcase different architectural periods from Baroque to neo-Renaissance styles.
The palace foundations date to the 12th century, and the building served as a refuge for the Veszprém episcopate during the Ottoman occupation for nearly 200 years.
The palace exhibits a collection of 18th-century oil paintings depicting Old Testament scenes, episcopal portraits, and tapestries given by Maria Theresa.
The renovated palace contains several event halls for exhibitions, while the inner courtyard functions as a space for concerts and cultural performances.
A secret underground passage connects the palace garden to the Granary, with its western section previously functioning as the main wine cellar of the estate.
