Interactive Castles in Zemplén-Gömör Region

Closed

The area along the Slovakian-Hungarian border has a wealth of architectural cultural heritage that is, however, lacking in attractive, novel and innovative exhibition content to draw in visitors. The municipalities participating in the project face the joint challenge and opportunity of renewing their inherited cultural values and showcasing them in such a way that makes them attractive tourist destinations and ensures the long-term sustainability of these cultural values and destinations. A new, uniquely designed exhibition using the most modern information presentation methods is planned to open at the Andrássy Castle of Tőketerebes, this all-new exhibition will present viewers with the multi-faceted history of the Baron Andrássy family. The reconstruction of the castle’s protected historical garden will be carried out as well, an important element of which will be fencing off the area and the placement of two smart benches in the garden as well as information signs on the history of the garden. A unified-approach visualguide for the presentation of the Andrássy heritage is being created for the Andrássy Castle of Tőketerebes, the Andrássy Castle of Betlér (Betliar) and the Andrássy Castle of Krasznahorka currently under reconstruction. The Lorántffy–Rákóczi–Degenfeld–Tisza Mansion, located in the Old City area of Tokaj and a part of the Tokaj-hegyalja World Heritage Area, is an ideal place for filming and events due to its architectural and geographical characteristics. The necessary infrastructural investments will be implemented within the framework of the project and a castle history experience center exhibition will be established in order to showcase the mansion’s rich history. The Mágochy Castle Fortress in Pácin is the most beautiful monument in the Bodrogköz. The project will see a small-scale reconstruction of the castle fortress and the present exhibition will be supplemented with the equipment and interpretation methods that meet current tourism trends
