Gothard-Kastély

Szombathely, Hungary, Hungary

Gothard-Kastély is a historic castle in the Herény district of Szombathely, Hungary.

Originally built between 1696 and 1699 in Baroque style, it was later remodeled in 1881 according to plans by architect Alajos Hauszmann, giving it an eclectic appearance. The castle is best known for its connection to the astronomer Jenő Gothard, who established an observatory on the estate in 1881.

The observatory became an important center for astronomical research, and its distinctive dome tower was designed by Gothard himself. Although the castle was later used for residential purposes and has fallen into a state of decline, it remains a significant local landmark. Its architectural heritage and association with Hungarian scientific history make it an important cultural site in Szombathely.
