Csurgó, Hungary
Venue and Accomodation










About Csurgó
The history of Csurgó dates back to the founding of the Hungarian state. According to tradition, the town's first documented mention appears in the 1019 founding charter of the Zalavár Abbey, where it was listed among the settlements granted the right to hold fairs. This early privilege indicates that Csurgó already played a central role in the region at that time.
Csurgó's charm lies in its beautiful, historic buildings. The town's natural environment is equally captivating, with the nearby Danube-Drava National Park offering endless opportunities for exploration and inspiration.
As the cultural and commercial center of Csurgó, the town's core area offers easy access to all the necessary amenities for our residency participants, including cafes, shops, parks, museums, accommodations, fitness facilities, and a swimming pool.
