Discover Mór: Castle History, Culture and Wine
Accommodation in Mór
Castle history, commemorative culture and wine shape the experiences that make Mór an interesting place to stay. At Lamberg Castle, architectural history, the Swabian House and a hall featuring works by Victor Vasarely come together. There are also wine experiences in the town centre and along a historic row of cellars. This gives you different ways to get to know the town and decide whether culture, art or wine will be the focus of your trip.

History and Collections at Lamberg Castle
Lamberg Castle was built between 1762 and 1766 by Count Ferenc Antal Lamberg as the Lamberg family’s summer residence; the design was by Jakab Fellner. The construction period, patron and architect give the castle’s history a specific time and personal context. The Swabian House in the castle displays furniture and household items from the early 20th century, traditional costumes, prayer books and other religious keepsakes belonging to the German population settled in Mór. The collection brings together everyday objects and clothing with religious commemorative culture, offering a glimpse into the lives of this community in Mór.
The Lamberg Castle Vasarely Hall displays screen prints by Victor Vasarely. Within the castle, an insight into the lives of Mór’s German population and the prints of a named artist thus sit alongside one another as distinct cultural themes. Guided tours are available for the permanent exhibitions. The listed times vary by season: from March to October, tours run Tuesday to Sunday at 10:00, 12:00, 13:30 and 15:00; from November to February, Tuesday to Sunday at 10:00, 12:00 and 13:30. The castle is closed on Mondays. Please confirm the times before your visit.
Wine Tastings in the Town Centre and Cellar Row
Miklóscsabi Pincéje is located in central Mór, at Ezerjó utca 3, and offers visitors wine tastings and small wine dinners. At Frey Pincészet, the focus is on the listed cellar in Mór’s historic cellar row. Cellar tours and wine tastings are offered there, with a cold meal served on a wooden platter available on request. Please arrange the details of both offerings with the respective winery before visiting.
The wine experiences differ in focus: Miklóscsabi Pincéje offers wine tastings and small wine dinners, while Frey also offers a cellar tour and an optional cold meal. The town-centre address and the historic cellar row also provide two distinct locations to consider when planning. If you would like to include a specific wine experience in your stay, you can check in advance which of the options described suits your plans.
A Landscape Theme in the Wider Destination
If you would also like to include a nature theme alongside culture and wine, consider the wider destination of Székesfehérvár: the reed beds along Lake Velence are home to thousands of waterbirds. This adds a landscape accent to Mór’s castle history, collections and wine experiences. You can therefore choose from different interests when deciding on the focus of your trip, without needing to combine them into a single itinerary.
When looking for a holiday apartment in Mór, you can first consider whether castle history and collections, wine tastings or both will shape your trip. For wine experiences, the difference between the town-centre address and the historic cellar row can help you organise your plans; confirm the details with the respective winery.
