Tata Castle, also known as Tatai Vár, is a medieval castle ruin whose history dates back to the 14th century. King Sigismund of Luxembourg expanded the castle into a royal palace between 1397 and 1409, making it an important center of European power.
During the Turkish Wars, the castle became an important link in the Habsburg defense system, but was destroyed by the Ottomans. After the reconquest of Hungary, the castle ruins came into the possession of the Esterházy family in 1727, who developed them into a stately center of their estates.
