In addition to being a famous holiday resort on Lake Balaton, Alsóörs boasts Hungary's oldest, 15th to 16th-century Gothic manor and the Csere Hill viewing tower, built in the first third of the 20th century.
The settlement and
its surroundings were a queen's estate in the Middle Ages. Its
development speeded up with the arrival of the railway network. In
1909, the Győr-Alsóörs line was completed, and from then on it emerged
as a holiday resort. The poet Sándor Endrődi, founder of the Petőfi
Memorial Museum in Budapest, had the first villa built here.
The manor known as
the 'Turkish house' (Török-ház) is a curiosity in the area and today
serves a cultural function. Built in 1935, the lookout tower made of
Permian red sandstone evokes Gothic and Renaissance styles and attracts
many tourists. The Bakony Hills, the Balaton Uplands, the lakeshore and the rolling hills of Somogy can all be seen from here.
How to get there:
By railway, Alsóörs is served from Székesfehérvár, Budapest and Tapolca. Local Volán buses serve the settlement from Veszprém and Balatonfüred. By car take Route 71.
