Koszeg - Jurisics Castle

Must-see attractions nearby: Jurisics tér Rájnis József utca Chernel utca

The conflagration of 1777 engulfed the castle; subsequently the south and west wings were rebuilt in Baroque fashion with two-storied arcades. Of the five towers only two were rebuilt to their original height. In the courtyard of the gatehouse, from which a brick-built bridge leads to the door of the castle itself, there stands a monument to Jurisics, designed by Sándor Mikus (1903-82); above the doorway can be seen the Eszterházy coat-of-arms and a painted Turkish tent, a favorite decoration on Hungarian castles.

Theatrical performances are staged in summer in the inner courtyard of the castle.
