The Grassalkovich castle in Gödöllő is not only a magnificent example of Baroque architecture, but also a place of great historical and cultural significance.
It was the favourite residence of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, also known as Sissi, who loved the Hungarian people and their traditions. She spent many summers here with her husband, Emperor Franz Joseph, and their children.
The castle was also the scene of important political events, such as the coronation of Charles IV as King of Hungary in 1916.
Today, the castle is a museum that showcases the royal apartments, the original furniture, and the personal belongings of Sissi and Franz Joseph.
It also hosts every year a prestigious Baroque festival, where international professionals and amateurs of Baroque music perform in the splendid halls and gardens of the castle.
The festival is a unique opportunity to enjoy the beauty and elegance of this amazing building, while listening to the harmonious sounds of classical instruments and singers.
