Hungarian Choral Castle, Baroque castle in Pomáz, Hungary
The Teleki-Wattay Castle is a Baroque manor house in Pomáz, featuring an arched ground floor layout, a mansard roof, and a coat of arms displayed on the main facade. The building now functions as a hotel with 15 guest rooms.
The castle was built in 1773 by Pál Wattay and later became home to József Teleki, the first president of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Teleki used the property as a place to conduct his historical research and writing.
The castle maintains its musical tradition through hosting the Central-East European Office of Europa Cantat, with regular concerts performed throughout the year. Visitors can experience the active music scene that shapes the property today.
The castle operates as a hotel offering 15 rooms with free parking and wireless internet access, plus a 24-hour reception desk. Guests can freely explore the buildings and the surrounding grounds during their stay.
The cellar was large enough that during the vineyard era a coach could drive in to deliver the must and wine, as the Esperanto source records. Behind the castle stands a long building that now houses an art school.
