Archbishop's Castle

The seat of the archbishop of the diocese of Kalocsa was originally a fortified castle, then in the 18th century it was transformed into a baroque palace, after Archbishop József Batthyány demolished the ruined parts of the building and commissioned the design and construction of a new palace using the parts that remained intact, which was started in 1775.

It owes its present appearance to Baron Ádám Patachich, Archbishop of Kalocsa. On the two floors of the eastern wing, the Archbishop's Library awaits visitors with its magnificent banqueting hall.
