The ex-residence of the Podmaniczky family resides in Aszód, a small historical town located 50 km east from Budapest. The building was started at 7. Mai 1727, and it reached its current shape in 1772.

The ceiling of the ceremonial room of the Baroque Podmaniczky palace, situated on the first floor of one of the corner pavilions, is covered entirely by a Baroque-style allegoric painting made by Lukács Kracker.

The single-storey central section oriented towards the former Palace Square is the oldest wing. The two-storey wing pointing inside was designed by József Jung and built between 1767 and 1772. Making the best use of the landscape the first storey windows were aligned with the row of windows in the central wing. József Jung enlarged the ends of both wings into corner pavilions with mansard roofs. In front of the central section of the palace is an intricately formed terrace. The window is ornamented with a stepped arched dripstone. Above the central opening the family coats-of-arms are depicted. The side facade, too, has been richly decorated. Pillars with Ionic capitals lend structure to the rounded corner pavilions.
Interior of the palace
The largest room of the Sándor wing is the ceremonial hall on the first floor. Its ceiling is entirely covered by János Kracker’s large wall painting titled The triumph of virtues (Az erények diadala, 1776). Allegoric figures personify virtues such as faith and love, amongst them figures from mythology. Large sections of the sidewalls have been grisaille-painted and are adorned with herms, vases, and painted sculptures.
The relocated gateway to be seen in the garden of the old palace used to be the entrance to an independent botanical garden next to the palace. The Podmaniczky family lived here until 1870. From 1880 until the 1950′s, a Lutheran girls’ school functioned in the building which presently serves as a dormitory and as a public archive.

Nowadays this residence is abandoned, and you must have the permissions to get in. The owner of the palace is unknown to me, but there is a company called Aszód Castle Ltd, whose goal is to restore the castle and turn it to a 6-star full service luxury hotel with conference facilities, wellness spa, and a 27-hole golf course. But these are only future plans, it sure will need a lot of money to make these plans real…
…and the future.
Concerning the Aszod schloss, Podmaniczkys lived there into the early 1920′s. My great grandfather, Gyula and his wife, his son Tibor and wife Virginia and my father Karoly and his sister Katinka lived in the Armin wing until 1922, when my grand parents moved to Munich.
It’s beautiful! Very nice shots!
