(Niczky - Rupprecht) - Losonczy kastély

Just being wonderful

Beautiful!

Rupprecht Castle is located on the western side of the Metőc stream, but on the east side there is also a castle, Losonczy Castle. The two castles belonged together, but owned by two families. The story of Melinda Losonczy has left a lot of historical data and facts for the posterity, including the history and structure of the two castles. Losonczy Castle was built next to the sugar factory. However, until 1922 until the time of the transformation - antiquity, it was called the Losonczy mansion, but then it was already a castle. Before the transformation, it served as a residential building for the family. Outwardly, only the risp, together with the loggias, was built. The double arcade on each side of the castle building relies on a Doric column in the middle. The staff apartment connected to the castle was built at the same time as the house (between 1837-47). Architecturally, it is now leaving the castle part because it was not antiquated in 1922, although it was built with the castle. There were stables to the south of the castle and other larger buildings that were always used. The Losonczy Castle building was converted into apartments, with many families of chefs living there, and the medical office was also located there. Then, after the change of regime, the changes that began in 1991 affected this building. The medical office and the families living there also moved into the village. The castle, which was always loud from speech, was left idle. It was fearful that he would be the victim of large-scale destruction. Then he had several owners, until finally he was bought by Franz Frederik Mootz, a German citizen, who renovated his original structure and now boasts the pride of the village, occupying the central location of the Metőc promenade.
