Sárvár Castle, Renaissance castle in Sárvár, Hungary

The medieval fortress stands with four corner towers, surrounded by a water-filled moat from the Gyöngyös River in western Hungary.

King Sigismund transferred control of the castle to Archbishop Kanizsai János in 1390, marking a significant period in Hungarian medieval governance.

The castle operated the first Hungarian printing press in 1537, producing the initial Hungarian translation of the New Testament in 1541.

The castle museum displays medieval armor, Renaissance furniture, and historical artifacts across three floors with guided tours in multiple languages.

The knight's hall features ceiling frescoes depicting Ferenc Nádasdy's military victories against Ottoman forces in the 17th century.
