Our palace is surrounded by a 50-hectare park, landscaped over the 19th and early 20th centuries. A formal French garden opens onto an English-style landscape of gentle slopes and rockery, gradually merging into a woodland laced with numerous paths. A stroll down to the lake is a highlight of any visit.

The Park

THE LAKE

ENJOY THE LAKE

The lake is home to a variety of birds, including swans and ducks, and rich in plant life such as reeds and water lilies, offering an enchanting spectacle throughout the seasons. The view is best enjoyed from the Gloriette on the island. From Spring to Fall, guests can also take boat rides on the lake.

THE ARBORETUM

DISCOVER THE ARBORETUM

Two-thirds of the park are covered by woodland crossed by 9 km of easy walking paths. As you explore, you’ll discover a rich variety of native tree species, along with a dendrological collection featuring trees from all over the world. The forest is also home to a particularly rich fauna, characteristic of this well-preserved environment.

PICNIC

INDULGE YOURSELF A LUXURY PICNIC

Our restaurant offers picnic baskets upon request. Filled with carefully selected delicacies and all the essentials for outdoor dining, they are an invitation to discover the park’s most beautiful spots and enjoy a peaceful moment surrounded by nature.

ART OF GARDEN FAIR

EUROPEAN ART OF GARDEN DAYS

The European Art of Garden Days take place on the first weekend of June in the park of Károlyi Kastély. They bring together around a hundred exhibitors showcasing a wide range of nature-inspired products: flowers, shrubs, garden accessories, as well as honey, tea, perfumes, items crafted from wicker, wood, and ceramic. Children’s activities and conferences for professionals complete this vibrant festival, which has become a must-attend annual gathering for all nature lovers.

KITCHEN GARDEN

FROM GARDEN TO PLATE

Our kitchen garden is one of the park’s hidden treasures, where fruits, vegetables and aromatic herbs are grown throughout the seasons. Its harvests inspire the restaurant’s menu and, whenever possible, find their way onto guests’ plates. At Károlyi Kastély, we favour local sourcing and sustainable practices.
