FÜZÉRRADVÁNY, KÁROLYI PALACE
You can reach Károlyi Palace, the pride of Füzérradvány, by passing through a fairytale-like row of pine trees. From about 1846 to 1877, Ede Károlyi, the heir of Radvány estate, reconstructed the building formerly standing here in a historicising style based on his own, as well as Miklós Ybl’s plans. The count himself drew up the concept of the palace’s special octagonal tower.
From 1938, the palace housed a “palace hotel” counting, in part, on the sport of hunting, which was a particularly novel idea in Hungary in the 1930s, although there were a good number of European forerunners, especially in English country mansions.
Although Károlyi Palace, surrounded by the woods of Füzérradvány, retains the atmosphere of the historicist era from the outside, in its halls evoking the splendour of the past, visitors are greeted by unadulterated Italian Renaissance interior design details.
It is also worth mentioning the extensive palace park with a special atmosphere surrounding the palace. The renewed historical garden will amaze visitors with its promenades, bridges across streams, fishponds, plane trees, wide-spreading linden trees, multi-trunked tulip trees and pyramidal English oaks. You can even walk for several hours in the park without having to touch a section of the same road twice.
Füzérradvány is located near the Hungarian-Slovakian border, 45 km from Košice. It can be reached from Budapest on the M3 motorway, on road 37.
