The Berchtold Castle

The Berchtold castle is a marvellous baroque building, which was built in 1826 and reconstructed in the late baroque style in 1830. It was originally built by Berchtold Antal and later it belonged to the Herold and Stephani families. Nowadays it is the building of the Gymnasium (secondary school). A favourite place for relaxation is a park of seven hectares behind the castle.

Koháry's kuria-house

After 1682, when the castle was destroyed, Istvan Kohary II built a baroque kuria-house (mansion) for himself. The building was built on basics of older Báthory kuria from the 17th century.
Later, in the 19th century the Coburg family was the owner of the mansion. After World War I the local residents became the owners. At present time the building is unutilized.
