Erzsébet Park
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.
Szentháromság temlom
The church was ordained in 2007, is a simple yet exciting architectural phenomenon housing Erzsébet Szekeres' unique work of art: a series carpets showing the members of the Árpád House who were canonized and beautified. Ten of these Hungarians lived their lives away from Hungary yet stayed in touch with their native country through weaving an invisible web with it by their holy insistence with the Catholic church something that is so characteristic of Hungarians.
Királyi domb pavilonja
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.
Felső Park
Of note is the wild chestnut path, a row of trees where Queen Sisi would often ride her horse.
Godollo Applied Arts Workshop, Gödöllői Iparművészeti Műhely
The traditions and spirit of the Art Colony is conveyed by the Handicraft Workshop by providing a possibility for the contemporary artists to introduce their work in exhibitions and other occasions. A particular esthetic experience for the visitor is the GIM-House's park with its colorful atmosphere. In the garden is an open air exhibit place.
Palota templom
On the orders of Antal Grassalkovich I erected a richly decorated Catholic church adjoining the Palace. The church was consecrated on 1749. Its patron is St John of Nepomuk as depicted in the high altar painting dating from the 18th century. The baldachin above the high altar rests on four black marble columns. The triumphal arch is decorated with the Grassalkovich family coat of arms. A unique feature of the church is that it has two Rococo style pulpits. Above the entrance to the oratory there is a Venetian mosaic portrait of Antal Grassalkovich I.
