Wenckheim Mansion, Neo-Renaissance château in Szabadkígyós, Hungary

The mansion contains 365 windows, 52 rooms, and 12 entrances distributed across four building sections, making it one of the largest châteaux in Hungary.

Architect Miklós Ybl designed the mansion between 1875 and 1879 for Count Frigyes Wenckheim and Countess Krisztina Wenckheim during the Austro-Hungarian Empire period.

The mansion served as an agricultural technical school from 1945 to 2011, educating generations of students in farming and food industry practices.

Following extensive renovations completed in March 2022, the mansion now functions as a museum showcasing the heritage of Hungarian nobility.

The surrounding park, protected since 1954 as part of Körös-Maros National Park, features both French garden elements and English landscape design.
