Szigliget

Szigliget is a village in Hungary on the north shore of Lake Balaton. It is about 10 km west of the Badacsony and 18 km east of Keszthely.

200 years ago, Szigliget was still an island (szig(et) = island), but by connecting the north side with the mainland, the isolated existence was ended.

The farm houses in the village are protected by monuments. The yellow-white castle with three white columns is a holiday residence for writers and poets. The associated park is 10 hectares in size. Like Badacsony Hill and the vineyards on its slopes, it belonged to the well-known noble family Eszterházy.

Older than this castle from the 19th century, the castle was built in the 13th century and now houses a restaurant. The road to the castle starts behind the 18th century baroque church. Between the vineyards on the hills are the whitewashed former wine press houses.

The bay of Szigliget is one of the most beautiful in Lake Balaton and is therefore called the Golden Shell (Aranykagyló).

Szigliget is een dorp in Hongarije aan de noordoever van het Balatonmeer. Het ligt op ongeveer 10 km ten westen van de Badacsony en 18 km ten oosten van Keszthely.

200 jaar geleden was Szigliget nog een eiland (szig(et) = eiland), maar door de noordzijde met het vasteland te verbinden maakte men aan het geïsoleerde bestaan een einde.

De boerenhuizen in het dorp vallen onder monumentenzorg. Het geel-witte slot met drie witte zuilen is een vakantieverblijf voor schrijvers en dichters. Het bijbehorende park is 10 ha groot. Evenals de Badacsonyheuvel en de wijngaarden op de hellingen was het in bezit van de bekende adellijke familie Eszterházy.

Ouder dan dit kasteel uit de 19e eeuw, is de burcht die in de 13e eeuw werd gebouwd en waarin zich nu een restaurant bevindt. De weg naar de burcht begint achter de 18e eeuwse barokke kerk. Tussen de wijngaarden op de heuvels staan de witgekalkte vroegere wijnpershuizen.

De baai van Szigliget geldt als een van de mooiste van het Balatonmeer en heeft dan ook de naam Gouden Schelp (Aranykagyló).
