Gödöllő Airport

Arts and crafts workshops, a petting zoo, pony rides and flower market

Of note is the wild chestnut path, a row of trees where Queen Sisi would often ride her horse.

The hexagonal pavilion built in the 1760s, dates from the Baroque period. 54 oil paintings depicting Hungarian leaders and kings were incorporated into the panelled walls of the pavilion. Now only replicas can be seen, because most of the original paintings have been destroyed or have disappeared.

Here 64 counties of the former Hungary have contributed their handful of soil to express their national feelings. Gödöllő is home to exciting venues, as it has been through history. A part of the Erzsébet-park Nature Conservation Area.

It was built in memory of Queen Elizabeth, nicknamed Sisi, after she was assassinated. The park entrance is a long trail of lindens leading to her statue. Turning right at the entrance you'll find the Kálvária monument, which depicts the crucifixion and was commissioned by Grassalkovich and built in 1771.

Count Antal Grassalkovich II (1734–1794) had a theatre auditorium constructed during reconstruction work between 1782 and 1785. This is the earliest stone theatre with coulisses still standing in Hungary. The 25-m-long, 8-m-wide and 9½-m-high space resulted from making the three-storey wing into one. The walls of the theatre auditorium were decorated with Neo-classical, late Baroque paintings. The plastic parastades with Roman capitals are joined by cornices at the top and marble-like pedestals at the bottom. The surfaces between the parastades are adorned with ochre-framed pink fields with garlands. The 90 sqm stage slanting slightly towards the stalls was equipped with the best technology of the age. The spatial effect of the Baroque stage-set was achieved by means of sliding coulisses and scenery canvases hanging from above and also by backdrop canvases. There was no orchestra pit separating the stalls from the stage. The orchestra was only separated from the audience by a low draught-screen. The audience was seated in the stalls and in the two galleries on the rear wall.
