Simontornya Castle
The son of Solomon, Judge Simon decreed that a tower would be built here. That is where the name of the settlement Simontornya originates from. The name Simontornya literally means Simon’s Tower. The castle has had a number of different owners throughout the centuries, and nearly all of them made some alterations. After excavations and restoration works from 1967 on the castle-museum was opened to the public in 1975. On the ground-floor one can see objects and documents from the past of the castle. The second and third floors of the gate-tower are hosting temporary fine arts exhibitions of contemporary artists.
