Kastelo de Kocsord, Castle in Kocsord, Hungary.
Kastelo de Kocsord is a partly single-storey, partly two-storey building erected between 1908 and 1915 to plans by István Möller, replacing an earlier castle on the same site. It stands in a protected landscape park of about 7 hectares, and it is not a listed historic monument.
The first known owner was the Csaholyi family; through Csaholyi Anna's marriage the estate passed to Melith György, who built a fortified castle here and left it to his brother Péter. After the Melith line died out the estate went to the treasury and in 1696 became part of the Szatmár fortress. The present castle was built entirely anew between 1908 and 1915 to plans by István Möller, and a hospital operated inside it until 2006.
The castle is also called Tisza Castle after its former owner; the Tisza family regained it through marriages after the Dégenfeld era. The building is not a listed historic monument, and it has stood empty since its hospital closed in 2006.
The castle stands on the Árpád út in Kocsord, beside the 49 main road near Mátészalka. The building has been empty since its hospital closed in 2006, so visits concern the protected park around it rather than the interior. The park, planted in the early 19th century, is smaller than its original extent.
The castle standing today was built between 1908 and 1915 to plans by István Möller, replacing an earlier structure on the same site. It is not a listed historic monument, and it has stood empty since its last institutional use ended.
