It sounds like a dream project: redesigning a wing of a 18th<\/sup> century castle. The architectural practice of 3H architects, led by Katalin Csillag and Zsolt Gunther, got this chance in 2014. As there were no historical drawings nor pictures of the interior of the original wing, the architects had the freedom of reinterpreting the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For regular readers of Piranesi<\/em>, 3H is not an unknown architectural practice from Hungary, and this is already the fourth project of theirs we have covered. In issue #31 we wrote about the remodelling of the basilica of Pannonhalma. In #41 the Szeged Cathedral Renovation was published, and in the previous double issue (# 42\/43) the MOME Campus expansion was presented. All these projects always start with an existing historical building or complex of buildings, to which 3H makes new interventions or extensions. As part of this impressive list of published projects, the project presented here is probably the most prestigious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Esterh\u00e1zy <\/a>Castle is located in Fert\u0151d, in west Hungary just ten km from the Austrian border. This small town of about 3.5 thousand inhabitants was created in 1950 by merging the municipalities of Eszterh\u00e1za (German: Esterhaus) and S\u00fctt\u00f6r (German: Sch\u00fcttern).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The castle was built from 1762 onwards by Prince Nikolaus (Mikl\u00f3s) Esterh\u00e1zy (b. 1714). After his death in 1790, neither his son Anton, who inherited the Esterh\u00e1zy lands, nor any of his later successors had any interest in living on the isolated estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
