Lendava Castle

The first recorded mention of the  Lendava Castle is from 1192 although its present-day appearance dates from much later, from the 18th century.

The Castle is the location of the Gallery-Museum of Lendva which presents an exhibition on the cultural heritage of Lendava and the Hungarian community. There are further permanent exhibitions showing the history and ethnography of the region and also the memorial room of sculptor György Zala.

In the Gallery works by local painters and artists of the Lendva Art Colony are presented.

Local History Museum

The exhibition called ’Citizenry, typography and umbrella manufactory in Lendava’ can be seen in the former civil house in 52 Glavna ulica. It is one of the region’s most imposing Neo-Baroque buildings with a beautifully shaped stucco.

Synagogue

The synagogue is the most important monument of the local Jewish community. The Jewish community of Lendava was established at the beginning of the 18th century and the synagogue was built in the second half of the century.

Church of St. Catherine

The church was originally built in Baroque style but it was refurbished in 1751 gaining its current look. An important artwork of the building is a painting of St. Catherine by the Italian painter Felix Barazutti. The crypt is the burial place for the female members of the Esterházy family and the founders of the church.

 Lendava Hill

The hill lies between the streams of Kebele, Lendava and Kerka and it is covered with vine plantations. It is an important place for the local wine culture.
