Today, as the third largest castle in Hungary, the baroque complex operates as a museum and visitor center, welcoming visitors year-round.
The Festetics family, of Croatian origin, moved their headquarters to Hungary in the 17th century, and in 1739, Keszthely became their permanent residence, with the estate owned by Kristóf Festetics at that time. The construction of the castle began in 1745, and thanks to the family, the city prospered, with pharmacies and hospitals established in Keszthely.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, the castle underwent extensive renovations, nearly doubling its original size, faithfully reflecting the grandeur of the building. After extending the central and eastern wings, the northern wing was completed to accommodate ballrooms and guest suites. The building was equipped with central heating and plumbing, and the façades, interior spaces, and staircases were renovated.
Entering the castle park through an ornate main gate, visitors are greeted by a statue of Count Festetics György in the front garden. The entire castle park is under nature conservation, offering pleasant walks for visitors with its centuries-old trees, flowers, and fountains. The castle is surrounded by a French garden, and behind it lies an English garden, while a palm house has also been created in the park.
Keszthely hosts numerous cultural events every year, many of which are held in the Festetics Castle’s ceremonial hall, where various events, temporary, and permanent exhibitions can be enjoyed throughout the year.
Permanent exhibitions on the castle grounds include:
