Mikes-Szentkereszty Castle

❗️ We recommend prior consultation before visiting. 📞 

📜 Throughout history, there have always been those "Return Home, Wanderer" who, sadly, could never return home, much as they would have liked to. Such was Kelemen Mikes, author of the Letters from Turkey, chamberlain to Ferenc Rákóczi II. Visit the Szentkereszty Castle, where the writer and translator spent part of his childhood. After the confiscation of his estates, the Szentkereszty family inherited the building. It is now a museum with memorial rooms to Kelemen Mikes, Vilmos Csutak, Manyi Kiss and Géza Domokos.

⚜️ This manor from Zagon is one of the most significant buildings of the Mikes family, and it already existed in the 17th century, as indicated by an inscription in one of the beams, which includes the year number 1632, and the initials B:M and E:D.
