The so called Mikes fürdők (bath) have been neglected in the past 60 years. Count Benedek Mikes, made them accessable for the public in the 1870s. His son Count Ármin Mikes intended to refurbish them in the 1940s.
The Roy Chowdhury - Mikes family and the Department for Landscaping & Garden Design, Matthias Corvinus University Budapest started to renovate one of the cold water basins in Summer 2007. In summer 2010 the second bath has been restored. The third one, is planned to be restored in 2011. The spas situated close to lake St. Anna are accessable for free. Contact guesthouse@zabola.com for directions. |

The spas & castles have been abandoned since the communists took them away. I believe in private ownership and this initiative should show as well that private ownership can help public interest.
I would further like to empathize that this work could not have been done without the help of the students of the Corvinus university."
