Siklós Castle

Siklós Castle, dating back to the 13th century, is today owned by the state and operated as a museum and hotel. It was built by Baron János György Benyó and when the family extinguished, it went over to the Garai family. In the 16th century became property of the viceroy Imre Perényi and his descendants until 1728, when it was acquired by the Counts Batthyány.

In 1873, the castle was sold by the Batthyany heirs to Lewis Benyovszky, a Bratislavian lawyer. After his death, his son Moric inherited it. Moric was elected three times to be the Lord Lieutenant of Baranya County and a Member of Parliament. His ashes rest in the chapel, as well.
His widow sold it to the state treasury in 1936.
