Edelényi, L'Huillier-Coburg-kastély |
The L'Huillier-Coburg Palace in Edelény was built by Ferenc János
L'Huillier, who was born in Alsace-Lorraine. It is the seventh-largest
palace in Hungary. Built between 1716 and 1730, it is this country’s
pre-eminent example of early-baroque architecture. The palace is
U-shaped, with a three-storeyed, flat-roofed central wing - flanked by
cylindrical towers at the corners - and two single-storeyed, mansard
roofed, side wings. The central wing overlooks the front courtyard,
which is surrounded by single-storey ancillary buildings, and access to
which is provided through a large-sized, finely-wrought iron gate,
bearing a coat-of-arms. The courtyard contains a few trees and some
trimmed hedges.
