The Palace of Fertôd has always been known as the Hungarian
Versailles.
As eras are counted, the golden age of Fertôd lasted but an
instant - from the late 1760s to 1790. These were the years
when Miklós Eszterházy enjoyed the title, wealth and power of
Prince of the Holy Roman Empire. He converted an undistinguished
hunting headquarters into an imperial palace, which he proceded
to fill with art, culture and gaiety.
