History

Csallóköz is the large island on the Danube, where the town of Dunaszerdahely is situated. It is mainly inhabited by Hungarians. The museum has a historical and ethnographic exhibition.

The palace was built In 1753 by Bishop Padányi Bíró Márton of Veszprém for his brother, Padányi Bíró István. After his death in 1805 the Kondé family from Pókatelek acquired the palace through marriage. The coat of arms of the Kondé family adorns the facade. At the beginning of the 19th century the Kondé family gave the building Classicist appearance. It was sold in 1858 to Wahlberg Miklós, a university professor from Vienna. Later his daughter, Habermann Nándorné inherited the palace. It was used for economic and military purposes afterwards. The Museum of Csallóköz moved to the palace in 1972 from the White Palace, which had been demolished by the Communists.
