Hungary's best-preserved impenetrable fortress | Sümeg 🇭🇺

Today we explore Sümeg, a town a little bit north of Lake Balaton. Although the town is noted most for its 13th-century castle, built on a limestone massif, there are some hidden secrets at the foot of the hill. Aside from an arena where re-enactments are played, there is a bishop palace and two churches. One of the churches apparently has a hidden room that showcases a fresco painted by Maulbertsch over 250 years ago. It still retains its colour!
