Az építkezés 1923-ban kezdődött és Bory Jenő haláláig, 1959-ig tartott. A várat a hitvesi szeretet és művészi álmok emlékére építette, ezért gyakran nevezik a “székesfehérvári Tádzs Mahalnak”.

A hidden gem deep inside the city of Székesfehérvár. A single man, a sculptor and painter's eclectic fairy tale dream built brick by brick into towers, bastions, zigzagging stairways, walled gardens and small pathways. If you have the patience, there are myriad fragments of art and history hidden in every nook and cranny - from the multitude of tiny coins related to historic events, statesmen or outright heroes embedded in the stone walls, to larger than life, looming statues and an immense sword hanging above the balustrades. Take your time - there is definitely more than the towering architecture - a considerable, fragmented history of the country is here, like shingles washed ashore by a simple man's imaginary sea.

Well, it's an interesting place. A 'castle' that someone built personally for themselves. It raises many questions about why someone would do this and why in this way. There are many interesting choices he made and the place is somewhat of a hodgepodge in a way. Perhaps that makes sense considering he built it over 40 years. (I would have loved to see the plans for the castle, and if they are there I missed them.) He was also a sculptor (and a painter) so there are a large number of sculptures and paintings all through the place. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit, but if you happen to be passing and have an interest in the arts and like a quirky castle, then by all means spend some time exploring it.

I don't understand why this castle is not popular among travelers!!!! I found it after two years I lived in Hungary! It is super easy to get by car from Budapest and even by transportation it is not that much complicated! It doesn't have free entry but tickets are super cheap.. The castle is not big but it is amazing, I totally recommend it o whoever lives in Hungary and for travelers who have at least a week in Hungary, I know there are many other cities to see during a touristic trip to Hungary but this one is worth it guys! I was surprised when I went there and see zero foreigners on a summer day! It is one of the best hidden places you will ever see

Initially thought it was a genuine castle but it turned out to be a new built (20th century?) definitely should come in warmer time since it can be quite chilly, especially on the top of the towers. The ‘castle’ looks very nice on the outside, but it needs some more refinement. Although, considering it was basically built by one person, it’s really impressive. Overall, if you are planning to go to Szekesfehervar only for that castle, I don’t really recommend it. Transport links is quite complicated as buses don’t go there often. No offense, but I think Hungary has tens of beautiful genuine castles worth visiting first, then you can visit Bory var.
