Heroic Survivors - Hungarian Castles and Country Houses

£5.00 (£4.00 Friends Price)

This report is one of a series planned by SAVE Europe's Heritage looking at groups of historic houses in different countries and regions of the continent. The first In the hour of need: Twelve French chateaux and a barracks looked at a group of outstanding chateaux in France which are in dire need of new owners or new uses.

This report is based on a tour of about fifty houses in northern Hungary, both east and west of Budapest. István Varga, of the Hungarian Castle Association 17 estimates that today about 2,000 castles survive (the Hungarians use the word kastely in the same sense as chateau). About 800 of these are protected through the National Board for the Protection of Monuments.
