Life in castles

The feudal land estate was owned by several larger families who managed it from castles and manors in Dolnja Lendava (Lendava), Gornja Lendava (Grad), Murska Sobota, Gornja Radgona, Negova, Beltinci, Rakičan and Črnci. After the Széchy family died out, the castle in Murska Sobota was taken over by the Counts of Szapáry in 1687 and was privately owned until 1934, when it was sold at auction. Most of its rich furnishings were also sold, except for a few items that are part of the museum’s collection.

Part of the exhibition was set up as part of the 321 go project and the Interreg SI-AT program.
