Nobody knows when exactly the castle was built. Historical research confirms that Claudius Florimundus Mercy bought the estate of Hőgyész in April 1722 and then they started to build the castle. The date of its completion is somewhere around the time of Mercy-Argenteau II.
This assumption proves the fact that he was the one who built the chapel to the castle.
Enjoy the splendour of the Baroque days in one of the four suites or 27 bedrooms of the castle.
Relax in one of the 30 rooms (including 4 suites) of the comfortably furnished Elysium – a younger and modern hotel building also set in the park.
All bedrooms and suites are equipped with television, direct dial telephone and mini bar.
Parking is free of charge for all our guests.
The kitchen of our castle hotel is of exceptionally high standard. Hungarian food is amongst the best in the world, and we have the chef to make it truly special.
Wines, too, are a passion of the people in Tolna, and they will enjoy discussing their wine lists with you. The wine region of Szekszárd is one of Hungary’s oldest wine regions. Natural conditions as hills and valleys covered with loess, makes the region perfect for red wine production. The most famous local wines are Kadarka, Kékfrankos, Zweigelt and Oportó, but Chardonnay and Olaszrizling can also be found here.
