The Renaissance castle located on the southern side of Kossuth Square is one of Hungary\u2019s most outstanding monuments, the town\u2019s symbol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The present-day castle has developed from the three-storey, 13th-century dwelling tower in its southwest corner and the single-storey northern wing. The castle\u2019s first mention is from 1288. The next great building operations took place in the second half of the 15th century, in Gothic style. During the times of the Kanizsai family, a three-storey dwelling structure adorned with representative objects and suitable for nobility was raised where the southern wing stands today. The lower level of the present-day gate-tower was created at the end of the 15th century. By the beginning of the 16th century the large, closed courtyard came into existence, while the castle\u2019s protection, apart from its natural assets, was assured by earth ramparts with notched planks. Between 1534 and 1671 the N\u00e1dasdy family owned the castle. As a result of the Renaissance style constructions, the castle\u2019s current form took shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ceiling frescoes of the Great Hall were done in 1653. The defensive system of Old Italian style bastions that can be seen today was built between 1588 and 1615. The ceiling frescoes of the Great Hall were created by Hans Rudolf Miller, while the wall pictures depicting images from the Old Testament were painted by Istv\u00e1n Dorffmaister in 1769. In 1803, Archduke Ferdinand Estei bought the castle, which was renovated by his successor. The Renaissance arcade along the eastern wing was walled up. The wing\u2019s upper-level corridors were built so that the castle could be walked around. The water was drained from the castle moat, and the present-day bridge was built. During the 19th and 20th centuries only minor alterations took place, so even today the castle presents an image of the fortified late Renaissance castles of the 16th-17th centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was built on Kossuth Square between 1878-82, and is one of the chief works of the S\u00e1rv\u00e1r architect Lajos Geschrey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Eclectic style building\u2019s balcony, which faces the Main Square, was built in the 20th century. back to the previous page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A sight in S\u00e1rv\u00e1r, where we can admire the common play of music and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Posta square has in recent years become one of the most popular sights in S\u00e1rv\u00e1r after the N\u00e1dasdy Castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Opened in 2014, the square in the city centre has an interactive fountain with 72 nozzles illuminated by LED lights, which even has an additional function. If someone steps on the rock in front of the fountain, the stream of water stops, so that you can walk into the middle of the fountain. By the way, the square was covered with three kinds of ornamental stones, several trees and shrubs were planted, which are now slowly shading those coming to the square. In addition to the relatively new S\u00e1rv\u00e1r attraction, there are of course benches, so the light and music game can even be experienced sitting comfortably on summer evenings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the place is not only worth a visit in the summer. In autumn and winter, even during a wellness weekend, it is worth visiting, as many outdoor events take place here, for example the S\u00e1rv\u00e1r advent fair and the carnival programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The conversion of the Trinity Chapel of medieval origin, which stood on the market square of the then country town S\u00e1rv\u00e1r was begun in 1645 by the country judge Ferenc N\u00e1dasdy who had reconverted to Catholicism two years before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The builder was Pietro Orsolini. The church, whose ground plan is in the shape of a Greek cross, was consecrated to St. L\u00e1szl\u00f3. This early church covered a third of the present-day one. The church, which along with the town was destroyed during R\u00e1k\u00f3czi\u2019s War of Independence, was rebuilt in 1732, the same year its tower was constructed. In 1830 two vaulted sections were added to the Baroque church, turning its layout into a Latin cross. It received its Classicist western facade at that time, as well. Due to the increase of the town\u2019s population and the rapid deterioration of the church\u2019s condition, reconstruction took place in 1926-1927. The parts east of the tower were dismantled, and so the church\u2019s oldest part was destroyed. The new church gained two aisles, the sanctuary was moved to its western side, and the eastern side received its Classicist facade. The patron\u2019s chancel was also created at the time. The stained glass windows that can be seen today are reminders of these constructions, too. Within the church stands S\u00e1rv\u00e1r\u2019s first public statue, the column of the sorrowful Jesus, made by the bailiff M\u00e1ty\u00e1s Gayer and his wife Erzs\u00e9bet Szundi in 1701.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This Catholic church of medieval origin was once S\u00e1rv\u00e1r\u2019s parish church in the town of S\u00e1r, which was administratively independent until 1912. Until 1767 the parish priest of S\u00e1rv\u00e1r used to live in S\u00e1r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The church\u2019s first written mention is from 1454, but even then it was already considered to be an old building. Its Gothic tower, eastern orientation, the windows positioned on its south side and the old statues, which in 1758 still stood on its tower, reveal its medieval origins. The church obtained its present-day form during the reconstructions of the 19th and 20th centuries. In the course of the reconstruction of 1830, and afterwards that of 1868, its painted wooden ceiling was swapped for a Czech camber-vault. In the 20th century reconstruction, it was given a Neo-Gothic exterior. The church is significant in cultural history, because Sebesty\u00e9n Tin\u00f3di Lantos, the chronicler of Turkish-Hungarian battles was laid to rest in the old cemetery surrounding the church, or perhaps within the church itself at the end of January 1556.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other than the castle, the Church of St. Mark in R\u00e1bas\u00f6mj\u00e9n is the only other monument from the age of the \u00c1rp\u00e1d dynasty in S\u00e1rv\u00e1r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Its first written mention is from 1288. In the 13th century, it used to bear the name of St. Peter, while at the end of the 17th century it was already named after St. Mark. The twin windows of its tower, its ornate gateway, the Romanesque gate used as an entrance to its vestry, and the building\u2019s eastern orientation are reminders of its Romanesque origin. During its reconstruction in 1933, the church was given a Neo-Romanesque exterior. During the renovations of 1973 further Romanesque remains were found. Within the church the artist J\u00f3zsef Pruzdik painted four scenes from the life of St. Mark and one from the life of Jesus, using a fresco technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the declaration of the Act of Tolerance 218 Evangelical churches were built in Hungary in the years 1782-1787.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In S\u00e1rv\u00e1r, a total of 133 Evangelicals bought plots for the school and the church. The first church was destroyed in the fire of 3 May 1829. The new church was built in a Classicist style from public donations in 1834-36. Its builder was the S\u00e1rv\u00e1r architect S\u00e1muel Geschrey. The church\u2019s main characteristic is the vestry wall, used widely in Transdanubia to separate the apse from the church. With its white-painted walls and harmonious proportions, it is a fine example of the Classicist church architecture of Transdanubia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" N\u00e1dasdy Castle The Renaissance castle located on the southern side of Kossuth Square is one of Hungary\u2019s most outstanding monuments, the town\u2019s symbol.
