Gálosháza Castle

To be privately owned

Gálosháza Castle (Gallenhofen) was first mentioned in a document at the beginning of the 14th century and is located just outside Nikitsch. The castle was built between 1638 and 1661 by the then pledge holder Georg Recsey on the foundations of the old Gálosháza castle. Remains of the old moats in the area still point to the former moated castle. In 1708, the building was extended under Adam Meskó. However, its current appearance dates from a generous renovation around 1840. At that time, the last remains of the former fortifications were removed and the facades were redesigned.
