Introduction
The former Huray property, consisting of two villas and a farmhouse and servants' quarters, was the home of Dr. István Huray, a spa doctor. The "A" villa, which has been renovated to its current condition, showcases the family history and medicine during the Reform Era, and there is also a Tourinform office and gift shop. Villa "B" is a multifunctional cultural space with temporary exhibitions and events. There are installations in the garden, a chronoscope in front of the facade, and themed walks starting from the villas.
The aim of the development was to preserve the heritage of the world-famous reform-era town center and increase its tourist appealby restoring Swiss-style villas and putting them to modern use.
Location & Accessibility
The villas are located in the city center dating back to the Reform Era, opposite the Round Church, in a landscaped courtyard with one entrance on Blaha Lujza Street and and the other on Jókai Mór Street.
The single-story "A" building is located on the Csokonai Street side of the park, while the two-story "B" building is located on the Jókai Mór Street side of the park. It is a few minutes' walk from the Balatonfüred ship station and its bus stop, and can be reached within 15 minutes from the central railway station.
