SÁRVÁR CASTLE (NÁDASDY-VÁR, NÁDASDY FERENC MÚZEUM)

Modified many times over the centuries by its successive owners, this pentagonal castle owes its current external and internal appearance to the Nádasdy family, and in particular Tamás Nádasdy, who carried Italian architects in the th century and made its castle, in the Renaissance, a cradle of humanism. This was where the first works in Hungarian were printed, in particular the first Hungarian translation of the New Testament in 1541. As for the castle itself, its most impressive room is undoubtedly the Knights Hall, richly decorated with paintings from Dorfmeister, illustrating biblical scenes and allegories of the arts and sciences, as well as frescoes attributed to Hans Rudolf Miller, representing the battle scenes opposing Black captain Ferenc Nádasdy, to the Turkish armies. The castle is now home to a museum.
