118-year-old story about winemaking, the love of wines from the eclectic walls of the Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6s Wine Palace and the heart of the M\u00e1tra wine region.<\/strong>\n

\nGrapes have been grown in Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6s and in the surrounding settlements on the southern slopes of the M\u00e1tra since the Roman times. The importance of viticulture is shown by the fact that some diplomas mention grapes from the early age: S\u00e1r (Abas\u00e1r) [1042], Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6sp\u00fcsp\u00f6k [1261], Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6shal\u00e1sz [1271], Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6starj\u00e1n [1275], Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6soroszi [1275], Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6s [1301].<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The production and trading of grapes and wine in Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6s and its surroundings was also significant in the Middle Ages, which is proven by numerous royal deeds and established trade routes.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In 1334, based on a charter of privilege, grapes and wines were free to grow and later the trade started and in 1480, the wine of Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6s was transported to the highlands - based on the charter of Matthias.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In the 16th century, Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6s and its neighborhood have been settled for quality winemaking, with 80% of the city's population living on it. Significant cellar constructions began in 1785 on the stone-covered areas of the andesite tuff in Farkasm\u00e1ly, but in Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6s the cellars were not outside the city but under the residential houses - to this day there is a wine cellar under every building.\n\nSome early cellar construction: the cellar St. Bartholomew's Prysil cella was built in the 15th century. In the 18th century, under the Main Square, the cellar at number 11. In the 16th century, the cellar of the building No. 25 under Pet\u0151fi Street, and in 1804, significant expansions began in the cellars below J\u00f3kai and Kossuth Streets.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

According to early written records, world travelers also praised the wines of Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6s:\n

\nIn 1664, according to the Turkish Evlia Csalebi, \u201citt wine has no match in either Arabia or Adsemland\u201d. In 1730, M\u00e1ty\u00e1s B\u00e9l (the Hungarian creator of local history writing) and P\u00e1l Kitaibel (renowned botanist and doctor of medicine) also praised the wine of Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6s.\nAt the end of the 18th century, the Lion's Inn was located on the former B\u00fazapiacz Square. The building behind the inn was the riding stables of the castle, the arched elements of which still stand today. The castle, built by the owner of Orczy L\u0151rinc in Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6s in 1770, was originally built in the Baroque style and was rebuilt in the Classicist style around 1824 according to the plans of L\u0151rinc Zofalh.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Later, in 1901, the Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6s-Visonta Wine Producers' Cooperative was established with 256 shares and a share capital of almost 5,800 crowns. After a few years of operation, it could not operate profitably and did not have a permanent establishment, so the wine was processed and stored in various leased premises.\n

\nThe cooperative was transformed into a share company in 1905 and they bought the Oroszl\u00e1n Lodging house located on the northeast corner of B\u00fazapiacz square the same year. The transformation of the building and the enlargement of the cellar started but production could be performed in the beautiful palace in eclectic style form the year 1906. At that time the modern wine-cellars under the building were suitable for storing 40 000 hectolitres of wine. Therefore, the year 1906 can be considered the first year of wine production performed behind the present walls. The first reconstruction of the originally one-storey and austere lodging house was finished in 1909. The two-storey central building was built that time and the one-storey wings towards North and South were designed that time.\n\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
