History

The Zichy family purchased the captaincy of Komárom Castle and the lands belonging to the castle in the middle of the 17th century. Their palace was built in the last third of the 17th century. The palace was expanded during the 18th century with two side wings and it became a U-shaped Baroque palace. The palace was seriously damaged in an earthquake in 1763. It was reconstructed in Classicist style at the beginning of the 19th century. After the Weisz family purchased the palace in the last third of the 19th century, the one-story eastern and western wings were expanded in eclectic style.
