Description:
The Szászvár castle was established in the second half of the 14th century as an episcopal manor house. Cardinal Bálint Alsáni, Bishop of Pécs, originally had a chapel and a manor house built on the edge of the settlement. The manor house was a cellar-based, two-story building with two rooms per floor, an elegantly designed stone structure with its entrance placed in a stair tower. This is one of the earliest surviving examples of the medieval manor house type that became widespread across Europe in the 15th-17th centuries.
