Sumeg

Few towns in Transdanubia have a history as closely tied to the Bishopric of Veszprém as Sümeg. Rising above the town, Sümeg Castle occupies a volcanic hill on the edge of the Bakony Hills, a position that long made it a strategic stronghold. The fortress took shape in the 13th century and became an important residence of the Veszprém bishops after Ottoman troops captured Veszprém in 1552. Its walls, towers and courtyards preserve the scale of a medieval Hungarian castle, while the town below retains a compact historic centre.
