Renaissance Castle In Galanta
History
The Castle was built in 1860 by the Esterházy of Galanta family on previous basements. Its architecture is from the Tudorian England's Romantic Gothic Era and it was set in a park. It belonged since then to the Esterházy of Galanta family, which was from around onward 1600 one of the most powerful aristocratic families, in all of Europe until around 1930. Its original two-wing disposition is with small changes still present. Attached to the main entrance of the castle was a small tower, which was slightly higher than the main part, and it was decorated with a renaissance-style attic, which covered its low roof. The building had richly and colorfully decorated façades with large symmetric windows. All renaissance castles were also called manors.
