On the site of the mansion of the Gersei Pethő family, the construction of the castle was started by Kristof Festetics in 1745. It gained its final - neo-baroque - form in the 1880s. It miraculously avoided destruction during the second World War. As Helikon Castle Museum, it has been independent since 1974. Its library of 100000 volumes is the only complete aristocratic collection in Hungary to have been left intact. It is a museum (permanent and temporary exhibitions), a conference and cultural centre.

Wandering in the town
In the Middle Ages Keszthely had two centres, the present Fő tér/Main Square and the surroundings of the mansion, and the sights are still to be found in these places and the pedestrian street connecting them.
