Keszthely - city in Hungary
(pronunciation: [ˈkɛsthɛj], Slovene: Blatenski Kostel; German: Kesthell) is the oldest town in the Lake Balaton region of Hungary.
Understand
It is at the western tip of Lake Balaton and boasts a history of more than 750 years. The town is endowed with a wide range of architectural gems displaying Gothic, Baroque, Transylvanian and Eclectic styles.
The Festetics Palace, now the Helikon Palace Museum, must rank as the town’s major attraction. Its construction was started at the beginning of the 18th century, by Kristóf Festetics, on the site of the former Pethő Mansion. It obtained its final Neo-Baroque form in 1887. With some 111 halls and rooms, this is one of the largest palaces in Hungary and is maintained in wonderful condition by the Hungarian government. One of the most beautiful rooms and one of the greatest assets of the palace is a magnificent historic two-level library housing over 100,000 volumes, which were miraculously saved from destruction during the Second World War. The library was started in the 1700s and its collection includes copies of the earliest printed books, unique prints, scientific and art books together with its music collection of manuscripts by Haydn, Pleyel and Goldmark. The reception wing of the palace is now used as a conference center and a meeting place for scientific and international conferences. Participants may be accommodated in the 15 quest rooms and 4 suites within the palace. During summer, concerts are held weekly in the grounds.
The Festetics were one of the richest aristocratic families in Hungary and had a considerable influence on the development and culture of Keszthely and the surrounding areas. Family members founded pharmacies, hospitals, grammar schools and in 1779 count György Festetics founded “The Georgikon”, which was Europe’s first independent institution of agricultural higher education. It was established with an 11-hectare dendrological garden. Its successor, the Georgikon Faculty of Agronomy, now functions within the local university.
The center of Keszthely is a large square alongside the Lajos Kossuth street. The section of Lajos Kossuth street leading from the square to the Festetics Palace is now a pedestrian mall, were one can find a number of fine restaurants, which – in season – serve large numbers of alfresco diners.
A nice feature within the town is the Helikon Park, which sits between the town and the lake foreshores. It is prevented from reaching the lake by the railway. Across the railway beside Ferenc Csik promenade are to be found a large number of outdoor cafes and restaurants much frequented by students from the nearby university. A popular snack served at these cafes is the famous Hungarian Lángos, a deep fried potato pancake topped with either garlic dressing or cheese or both. On summer evenings the area is alive with people eating Lángos and drinking beer.
