Tata Castle, built at the mid 14th-century on the northern tip of Lake Öreg (Old Lake), is one of the jewels of Tata, Hungary.[1] Its blooming can be dated to the reign of Sigismund of Luxembourg (r. 1433–1437) and Mátyás Hunyadi (r. 1458–1490) as the summer resort of the king and a favoured residence.[2] It was burnt by Habsburgs and later renovated.[1] The walls of the castle reflect the marks of romantic style which is due to the Esterházy family who used to live here.
In popular culture[]
Parts of the Bollywood film Raabta (2017)[3] and The Witcher[4] were shot at the castle.
