Száraz-Rudnyánszky Castle<br />
This gothic castle, which includes Roman ruins, was built in the 13th century for the local noble Tétény family. Gyögy Száraz, who was later made<br />
a baron, started the renovation and expansion of the castle. After Száraz’s death, it was József Rudnyánszky who finished the work. From 1795,<br />
for four years József Batthyány rented the castle and likely by his orders, a nude painting in the 24th chamber had to be repainted to show a<br />
more moderate pastoral scene. Today, the castle houses a permanent exhibition of furniture, given by the Museum of Applied Arts. It is a unique<br />
and rich display of the craftsmanship from middle of the 14th to the middle of the 19th centuries.<br />
