  The Fort of Ovar - Mosonmagyarovar

Region: Western Transdanubia
Sub-region: Gyor-Sopron
Type of sight: Ruins of castles

 
 
 
   
  The Fort of Ovar is a construction with irregular quadratic ground-plan built in the 13th century upon the ruins of the Roman settlement and reconstructed several times since then.
In 1818 an agricultural-type high-level educational institution was founded in the fort by Prince Albert Kasmer of Saxony-Teschen, the son - in - law of Queen Maria Theresa of the House of Habsburgs. The university of today to be found in the buildings of the fort (under the name of West- Hungarian University Faculty of Agricultural Sciences) is a legal successor.
In the inner bail the bust and memorial bank of the poet Nikolaus Lenau can be seen who was a student here at the Academy in the years of 1822-1823.
A museum for the history of the institution is situated within the fort and is open for the public. The monuments in front of the fort are dedicated to the memories of both World Wars, as well as to the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.
Besides the university building erected in Secession Style and inaugurated in 1912, the Anna-Chapel of Lucsony built in the memory of the pest epidemic of 1713 can be seen.

Address: Mosonmagyarovar, 1. Var
