Sibrik Castle Bozsok - Sibrik Castle Bozsok

It is not immediately clear that this is a castle ... there is an ancient fountain ... the only thing that shows the age of this place, but it is in a very deplorable state ... when you look at this castle, it seems that it seemed to have been covered up, somehow it is low in relation to the level of the ground around the castle is not a big ditch that looks like it was dug out ... on the side of the main entrance, after passing through the mound of earth, there is some kind of foundation, also dug out quite well preserved, but there are no walls or stones around, it is not clear what was there and why it so low in relation to the terrain around. There is not a large walking park with old oaks. There is something similar to the stables, but I don’t know what it is exactly.

Beautiful, romantic setting. The building evokes the spirit of old times. The Park is full of beautiful huge trees and fragrant bushes. The romantic atmosphere is further enhanced by the creek flowing in front of the castle.

The main attraction of Bozsok is the Sibrik Castle - Bozsok, called Sibrik Castle, which was allegedly built as the hunting castle of King Matthias, and he himself donated it to the naming Sibrik family. It was owned by the family for centuries, being rebuilt in 1702 and 1815. It gained its present form during its renovation and reconstruction in 1815. It was once surrounded by a moat, a drawbridge, and a strong castle wall. It is believed that the site of today's castle dates back to the 15th century. In the 16th century there was a building (which could have been a Roman castrum or a medieval manor house) and the late renaissance-style, single-storey castle was built on this core, which was later expanded and rebuilt. This may have happened in 1614, based on the coat of arms above the entrance, which contains the noble coat of arms of the Sibrik and Nádasdy families. The relationship of the Sibrik family in Szarvaskend and Óvár with Bozsok ended on August 31, 1906, when the then owner Kálmán Sibrik sold the castle and the estate to Dr. Gyula Végh, the former director of the Museum of Applied Arts and his wife, Countess Mária Wimpfenn, for 52,000. They tidied up and expanded the castle, built a terrace upstairs on the park side and built an entrance to it. The interior design has also become more and more perfect and richer over the years. Most of the furniture came from abroad, France, Germany, Italy, Austria and China. During the time of the party state, Dr. Gyula Végh, as a landowner, and his wife, due to their aristocratic origins, experienced a lot of inconvenience, harassment, and then dragging. Finally, Dr. Gyula Végh escaped eviction to death and ended his life on his own. A II. it was not damaged during World War II, but by the early 1950s it had completely deteriorated. The building was rebuilt in 1959–1960 with the support of Vas County, based on the plans of architect János Sedlmayr, and became the Holiday and Training Center of the OMF and Vas County Council. The castle park is the merit of Countess Mary Wimpfenn: the moat in front of the castle was arranged, its shores were leveled and covered with lawns. The trees in the garden were pruned, cleaned and rejuvenated. Runners, amber, running rose and purple acacia were planted everywhere next to the house wall, which were later often painted by Gyula Végh. In the park, in addition to native plant species such as field maple, sad ash, karai maple, tan, many plant rarities such as green maple, cigar tree, western whipweed, hazelnut, holly, lily, black walnut, maple leaf sycamore, laurel . The castle was a popular filming location. Filmed here The Sons of the Stone-Heart Man, The Strange Marriage, and What Time is It, Mr. Alarm? some scenes from the films. The building currently operates as a castle hotel with 12 rooms and 1 apartment. In the hotel there is restaurant, sauna, billiard table, nearby tennis court, bowling alley, riding stables.
