The palace was built from 1880 to 1885 by Count Gyula Andrássy who was first the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Hungary (1867-1871) and then the Foreign Secretary of Austria-Hungary (1871-1879).  He played an important role in drawing up the Croatian-Hungarian Compromise in 1868 and also in the formation of the Royal Hungarian Honvéd system. In Hungary, several large statues, plaques and institutions preserve his memory.

Andrássy Palace is one of the most imposing piece of Hungarian historicist palace architecture. It was the count’s son who furnished the rooms of the palace standing on the bank of the Tisza River. Gyula Andrássy the Younger devised an extraordinary park matching the splendid interior. The archaic wooden stairs, the wooden panelling of the dining room, and the spectacular French-style parterre, often called the boxwood labyrinth, make the mansion of Tiszadob one of the most beautiful palace monuments of Hungary.

An extremely beautiful natural environment encompasses the stately building whose famous aristocratic dining hall houses an elegant restaurant. Remember to taste the noble dishes when visiting the palace.
