Dunaföldvár: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Dunaföldvár combines a historic town centre with distinctive buildings, regional everyday culture and landscapes along the Danube. A spiral staircase leads to the viewing area of the Csonka (Török) Tower, which offers a panoramic view.

Those who choose Dunaföldvár for their trip and wish to rent a holiday apartment can include this type of accommodation in their personal planning.

Culture

The local architectural history includes the Franciscan church dedicated to Saint Anne and the monastery, which are known locally as Barátok temploma. They were built between 1703 and 1706 and renovated in the Baroque style in 1786. The church dedicated to Saint Helena is known locally as Öregtemplom and was built in the 1720s.

The Fafaragó Galéria opened in the castle courtyard in 1996. It presents contemporary Hungarian woodcarving, wood art and folk sculpture. The Dunaföldvári Tájház displays everyday objects and traditional costumes. It also illustrates a traditional house from the Mezőföld region with mud walls, a thatched gable roof and a rammed-earth floor.

The renovation of the Vár-negyed and the streets leading to it has enhanced Dunaföldvár’s listed historic town centre.

Places and Experiences

The green space around the Szent-Ilona Church offers a view of the Danube and the bridge rising above it. The Dunaföldvári Tájház has a separate room for craft and ethnographic activities for children and smaller groups.

The waters of the Danube near Dunaföldvár are suitable for fishing and water sports.

Nature

The ornithologically significant Felső-tó lies on the northwestern boundary of Dunaföldvár and was placed under protection in 1975. The Solti Duna-ág is located in Bács-Kiskun County but belongs to Dunaföldvár and is considered a fishing area with carp, catfish and grass carp.
