Bory Castle (in Hungarian "Bory-vár")

Jenő Bory (1879-1959) was a sculptor, painter and architect, lived in Székesfehérvár, Hungary. He learned from world-famous masters: sculpture from Alajos Stróbl and painting from Bertalan Székely. His wife was Ilona Komocsin (1885-1974), who was a painter and also the student of Bertalan Székely, and she first met Jenő Bory on this occasion. The artist couple from their own resources together created the famous Bory Castle ("Bory-vár") in Székesfehérvár, starting in 1923 and with 41 years of work. Because Jenő Bory curiously researched the wide range of application of the concrete and ferro-concrete (reinforced-concrete), he chose this building material for the Bory Castle as well. The castle and the garden is full of the many sculptures of Jenő Bory, as well as paintings created by his beloved wife and other artists. These together constitute a large, incredibly interesting and varied collection, actually a complete art gallery.
