Köszeg

The Gyöngyös stream and the foothills of the Kőszeg Mountains define the setting of Kőszeg — they give this western Hungarian town, close to the Austrian border, a wooded backdrop and a compact, walkable character. Jurisics Castle recalls the Ottoman siege of 1532, when its captain Nikola Jurišić led the town’s defence. Around the castle, Kőszeg’s historic centre preserves its fortified character in a network of squares, burgher houses and church towers. The town is also a useful base for exploring the trails and borderland scenery of the Kőszeg Mountains.
