The old buildings and squares of our town centre, which survived the world wars, are gradually being restored, bringing back the romantic atmosphere of the Middle Ages! Deservedly called the "jewel box of the country", there is no visitor who would not like to fall in love with this little town!

Situated on the Austrian border and with a population of around ten thousand, our romantic little town is rich in history and has played an important role in the life of both Hungary and Austria. Throughout history, Kőszeg has belonged to both sides of the border, so the mixture of German, Austrian and Hungarian culture is quite dominant in the life of our town, but there is also a significant influence of Croatian culture dating back to the time of the Turkish invasions. The most famous story of Kőszeg is undoubtedly that of the Turkish siege, when the town defended itself against an overwhelming force of five and saved the whole of Austria!
