Sibrik Mansion in Bozsok, 15th-century mansion in Bozsok, Hungary

The Sibrik Mansion is a late-Renaissance, one-storey castle in Bozsok built onto a medieval core. Its square courtyard is enclosed by wings on the south and west and by high defensive walls on the other two sides, with a polygonal corner tower at the north-east. The courtyard facade has a basket-arched arcade at ground level, and a double coat of arms of the Sibrik and Nádasdy families with the year 1614 sits above the entrance.

Probably built in the 1470s as a hunting castle for King Matthias, who is said to have given it to the Sibrik family. The medieval core was enlarged in the 16th and 17th centuries; a coat-of-arms stone above the entrance dates the storey addition to 1611, and a double Sibrik-Nádasdy coat of arms bears 1614. Ferenc Rákóczi II visited in 1698, a fire struck in 1841, and the Sibrik era ended in 1906 with the sale to Gyula Végh.

The name Sibrik comes from the family that received the castle from King Matthias, and the village's history is tied to the Sibrik and Batthyány families. Above the entrance a carved double coat of arms shows the Sibrik and Nádasdy crests with the year 1614. Since 1906 the estate passed to Gyula Végh, director of the Museum of Applied Arts, who filled it with furniture from France, Germany, Italy, Austria and China.

The mansion stands in Bozsok, a short drive from Szombathely. Inside are a guesthouse with 12 rooms and 32 beds, a restaurant and a billiard room; outside, a tennis court and a riding facility. Visitors can tour the castle even without staying overnight. The park created in the early 20th century from an old forest is open to walkers.

The mansion has been a film location: scenes set in the Baradlay castle in A kőszívű ember fiai were shot here, as were the Dőry-castle scenes of the 1984 TV series Különös házasság and parts of Bacsó Péter's Hány az óra, Vekker úr?. The guesthouse today has 12 rooms and 32 beds, with a restaurant, billiard, tennis court and riding stable.
