Visegrád
Visegrád, not only in the past, but also now, the chivalrous atmosphere is present! Hungary's largest historical festival, the International Palace Games of Visegrád, is held here every year. Next year’s games will be the 40th edition.
Perched above the scenic Danube Bend, Visegrád Palace in Hungary is a site steeped in medieval history and royal legacy.
This iconic palace once served as the royal seat of Hungary in the 14th century, under the rule of King Charles I and later Louis the Great. Its intricate Gothic and early Renaissance architecture reflects a time of grandeur, when Hungary’s kings and nobles gathered within these walls. The palace’s sprawling courtyards and fortified walls tell tales of a bygone era, where the spirit of chivalry and nobility was ever-present. Our tournament arena will be located on the Palace site below the Visegrád's Fortress that stands proudly atop the hill.
