The N\u00e1dasdy-castle in the town of S\u00e1rv\u00e1r is one of the monuments which survived the turmoil of centuries unharmed. The shift between the Renaissance and Baroque took place during the one and a half century-long reign of one of the most influential families in Hungary, the N\u00e1dasdy-family. While there is a Renaissance row of arcades in the courtyard, the Knights\u2019 Hall and the neighbouring salons show Baroque features. The Estei-family from Modena restored the castle in a classicistic way at the beginning of the 19th century. The last owners of the castle, the Bavarian Wittelsbach-family, spent their time until 1945 here.
The Ferenc N\u00e1dasdy museum has been open to visitors on an area of 1.300 m2 with temporary and permanent exhibitions for more than half a century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Knight\u2019s Hall, built upon orders from Ferenc N\u00e1dasdy III., is the most beautiful hall of both the museum and the castle. The frescoes on the ceiling, painted 1653, depict battles of Ferenc N\u00e1dasdy II. the heroic \u201cBlack Bey\u201d, against the Ottoman Empire in the period 1591-1602. \u00c1d\u00e1m Szily, the owner of the castle, made Istv\u00e1n Dorffmaister paint scenes from the Old Testimony in Baroque style in 1769 on the walls. The paintings show the story of David and Goliath, Samson and Delilah, or Judith and Holofernes. The gold and marble-covered cabinet with two side-wings from the 17th century was bought from the Ocskay-family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The collection of pieces of industrial art is manifold. The equipment in the salons shows the art of furniture making of several centuries. The treasures, silver cutlery and painted china of the Wittelsbach-family once hidden in the castle are now popular sights. The exhibition showing crafted and painted glass objects features the finger bowl of the emperor Franz Joseph, the beer-glass of Czar Nicholas II., and the liqueur-glass designed by J\u00f3zsef Rippl-R\u00f3nai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
