Sándor Boros (Smarni) (11/22/2020)
The castle is one of the best known and most famous in the history of Hungary 15-16. He won it from the hero of the 16th century, Pál Kinizsi, but the name Vázsony itself comes from the Hungarian genus Vázsony. In 1472, King Matthias Hunyadi donated it to Kinizsi for his bravery in his campaigns. It was at this time that the four smaller towers formed the outer rectangular wall, the inner courtyard of which was extended with a two-story palace wing, a castle chapel in the corner, and a In 1490, Miksa Habsburg's mercenary army demanding the throne occupied the castle, and it was not until the following year that Kinizsi, who was campaigning against them, was able to retake it with his militia. As the nobleman Pál Kinizsi usually defended the endangered parts of the country with his army, his residence in Vázsony was inhabited by his wife, Mistress Benigna Magyar. Renovation work is now underway in the castle to make it even more beautiful and better for visitors.
