Erdotarcsa Castle Pension of the Hungarian Academy of Science
About 50 km from Budapest, on the border of three counties, Nógrád, Pest, and Heves, in Nógrád County, in the Pásztó sub-region, in the valley of the Ilka stream (Tarcsai stream) lies Erdőtarcsa (formerly Erdős-Tartsa). It was named after the village of Erdei, to distinguish it from Tartsa, another village not far from it in Pest county. Today, however, there is no contiguous forest area in the municipality. A peaceful, quiet environment and clean air are the hallmarks of the village atmosphere.
In the past, the vernacular called Erdőtarcsa a “castle” village, as there are several castles and mansions in this small village, which are now monuments. The baroque-style Szent – Miklóssy – Kubinyi Castle, built in 1870, is today the residence and creative house of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, situated in a well-kept, 3-acres enclosed park. The castle was built by the Szentmiklóssy family of Gomor in the 18th century. century (sometime between 1750 and 1770).
The baroque style building was probably designed by András Mayerhoffer, who also designed Antal Grassalkovich’s castle in Gödöllő. The castle was last occupied by the Kubinyi family, then after the Second World War it was used as the village school. The building was restored by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences as a rest and creative house; its rooms are furnished with period furniture.
The castle park of the Erdotarcsa Castle Pension is surrounded by a cosy walking path with rose garden, fountain and garden pond. We recommend our resort for guests who prefer a demanding environment, quiet, relaxation, family hospitality.
