Szekesfehervar, Hungary - The Enchanting Bory Castle

“White Castle,” Szekesfehervar, is just a one-hour drive from Budapest. 🚗 The musical clock tower is a must-see! Every hour, a small door at the top of the tower opens, revealing puppet figures of Hungarian kings. These puppets, accompanied by traditional music, rotate and put on a charming display. These figures represent the kings, saints, and significant historical figures of Hungary. 🕰️ The rest of the photos are from Bory Castle. Bory Castle is a unique concrete structure, privately built by the sculptor and architect Jeno Bory over 20 years as a labor of love for his wife. The castle is filled with her paintings and his sculptures. Both the architecture and the lifelike sculptures are truly stunning. The entire building is brimming with romantic design touches, such as the staircases and colorful stained-glass windows. Jeno Bory's works can also be found in Hungary and abroad. Note that the castle closes at 4 p.m., and the admission fee is 3000 HUF per person. 🏰 Szekesfehervar is the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Hungary and was once the site of royal coronations and burials. Founded in the 10th century, it was here that Saint Stephen I, the first king of Hungary, established his palace and cathedral. During the Middle Ages, it was a center of politics, religion, and culture. 🕍 Other main attractions include: 1. The Basilica of Saint Stephen: Once the site of coronations and burials of Hungarian kings, now only ruins remain. ⛪ 2. The Town Hall Square and Baroque Old Town: Preserved with numerous 18th-century buildings, it exudes the charm of a Central European ancient city. 🏠 3. The museums and several other churches are also said to be worth a visit. 📜 #Szekesfehervar #BoryCastle #Hungary #Budapest
