Tarcal

Tarcal is located in the northeastern part of Hungary, in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, near the town of Tokaj . Famous for its grape- and wine-production, Tarcal was incorporated as part of the Tokaj-Hegyalja wine producing area, into the UNESCO’s Tokaj Wine Region Historic Cultural Landscape, in 2002.

The baroque style Rákóczi wine-shop dates from the second half of the 18^th century; it was reconstructed during the course of the 19^th century. The building, which is still used for vinicultural purposes, serves as the entrance to the Rákóczi-Cellar.

The Andrássy Country-Mansion was also built in the second half of the 18^th century, originally in the baroque style, with later Classicist style modifications. The building which is at present privately owned, will, following renovations, cater for the hospitality industry, functioning as a hotel.

The former royal mansion and wine-shop, to be found in the Terézia-field, was erected in the 19^th century, in an eclectic style. At present the building functions as the Tokay Business-House.

The former school for vine-dressers, built at the end of the 19^th century, has been converted to a hotel.

Also worthy of mention is the Roman-Catholic church, which was originally built in the Gothic style in the 15^th century, then rebuilt in the baroque style in the 18^th century.
