Review:
The Castle of Egri has a rich history that includes being ruined during the Mongol invasion, getting utilized as army barracks, and repelling a Turkish attack during the Siege of Eger.
What stands presently is the Gothic-style palace that was built in 1470. Visitors can explore not only the architecture and decor of the castle but also the several museums that are housed within it. Some of the museums are Dobo Istvan Varmuzeum, which takes visitors on a journey of the castle's history, the Egri Keptar painting exhibition, the Panoptikum wax museum, and the Kazmatak museum, which takes visitors through the maze of cellars under the castle.
