Development of the Castle of Kisvárda for tourist purposes_x000D_

In the northern part of Kisvárda, the four corner towers built by the Várdai family are standing on a sand back once surrounded by swamps. Its architectural specialty is that the central courtyard is surrounded by two rectangular corner towers on the south side and two round corner towers on the north side. In addition to the permanent exhibition, which was reopened in 2013, the event tourism increased by covering the stage in the castle yard further increased the tourist attraction of the castle, with a castle bath and a sports field in its immediate vicinity. Already in the 13rd century, the Várdai family belonging to the genus Gutkeled received a building permit in 1400, which was completed in 1451. The exact location of this early castle is uncertain. István Várdai was built by Archbishop István Várdai between 1465 and 1475, and this is when the southern wall and the two corner towers, which are still at three-storey altitude, were completed. Around 1521 Ferenc Várdai, Bishop of Gyulafehérvár, built out pile structures around the castle, a certificate dated in 1528 on the eastern side of St. He also mentions a chapel dedicated to Miklós. After Mohács, the castle was a place of flashes between the royal Hungary and the Transylvanian Heads of Transylvania. The Renaissance carved stones found in the excavations suggest a reconstruction that can be dated to the end of the 16th century at the latest. The Zichy and Esterházy families, who owned in the 18th century, carried the stones of the castle to their constructions, and the continual destruction of monuments was prevented by the authorities of the county in 1828. The excavation related to the restoration of the monuments was carried out in the area of the castle between 1954 and 1960. The restored southeast tower was given a museum function until 1983. After the excavations were completed, the central courtyard became an event venue with a stage set up. The discontinued exhibition space was reopened in 2013 with a new permanent exhibition called “Internal Ancients”. To serve the theatre function, the northern wall was elevated and the two round towers in the north were covered. The area of the highly protected archaeological site and monument is about 2 000 m².
