Szechenyi Zsigmond Hunting Museum

About

In the 18th century, the city of Hatvar belonged to the Grassalkovich family, who ordered the construction of this family estate. The palace passed on to the Hatvany-Deutsch family, who are responsible for adding the Neo-Baroque elements. Today, the palace houses a hunting museum, which works to educate visitors on Hungarian ecology, and the life of the prominent Count Zsigmond Széchenyi. After working through the fishing exhibition in the basement, and ecological exhibition on the first floor, the second floor is dedicated to the travels of the globe-trotting count, and displays some of his unique hunting trophies. Please note, the museum is closed on Mondays.
