Shashvar Castle is truly impressive with its magnificent view and interiors. Since its construction, the building has undergone significant changes - many parts of the castle were rebuilt, a couple of towers were added to it and the interior was completely renovated, resulting in more rooms inside.

Features of Shashvar Castle

The castle is located on the banks of the river, and is also surrounded by other historical buildings of the city; the style of the castle itself is made in “Gothic”. This decision was caused by the fact that the ruler of Shashvar Castle really liked the castles located on German lands and he wanted to have the same castle in his homeland.

Various exhibitions of local artists are often held here, and every day you can meet crowds of tourists who want to see how the Hungarian rulers lived in the Middle Ages.
