Castle, a photo from Vas, West

Photographer's Note

Nádasdy-vár (Nádasdy castle)

The original stone fort was built in the 13th century on the ruins of a 9th-century earth palisade. It was expanded by the Kanizsay family in 1390, who started to build the gate tower. The Nádasdy family acquired the castle by marriage in 1534. They converted it into a renaissance castle in the 17th century.
The castle was refurbished in 1720 and finally in 1822, its appearance has not changed since then.
This is one of the few forts which remained almost intact (most of the forts in Hungary were destroyed or severely damaged). The assembly hall is decorated with beautiful frescoes.
Today the building houses several institutions, such as a museum, a library, a community centre. The museum shows the history of the town and the castle, the history of the Hungarian hussars (light cavalry), and has a fine collection of furniture, glassware and silver cutlery from the renaissance to present days.
The town is also famous for the first printed book in Hungarian language which was published here (Grammatica Hungarolatina – 1541).

Szia Laci,
Mindig nagy örömmel látom, ha gyönyörű fotóval hirdetik hazánk nevezettességeit. A fotót egyrészt nagyon hatásos szögből készítetted, másrészt ragyogóak voltak a fények is, így a végeredmény igencsak festői lett. A fotóhoz gratulálok, a vár története talán megérdemelt volna egy tartalmasabb jegyzetet is. Szép hetet és gyönyörű képeket Kívánok!

Hello Lazlo,
I love the composition here with the arches of this lovely red brick bridge marching diagonally across the frame taking the eye straight to the tower. Great contrast between the three main elements of bridge, tower and grass. Excellent tones and clarity. Very good work.
