Tisza Castle

Geszt, Hungary, Romania

Tisza Castle in Geszt, Hungary (not Romania), is a historic Baroque residence built between 1761 and 1772 by László I Tisza, evolving from earlier structures into an L-shaped mansion expanded in classicist style around 1800 by László II Tisza and his wife Katalin Teleki.

Home to the influential Tisza family—which produced Hungarian prime ministers Kálmán Tisza (1875–1890) and István Tisza (1903–1905)—it served as a political and social hub dubbed "Babylon" locally, featuring lavish salons, studies, and a vast park until looting in 1944 and communist-era decline as a school and storage site.

Transferred to the Reformed Church in 2017, it underwent a major 13-billion-forint restoration completed in 2024, now operating as a museum, event venue, and guesthouse with exhibits on the family's legacy in politics, culture, and faith.
