Gombas kuria

"Gombás kúria" means in translation “lordly house with mushrooms” and

makes probably reference to the shape of the tympanon. It is a

building from the second half of the 18th century in the baroque late

baroque style called Zopf, and it is a monument, as the plate of the

tourism office from 1964 tells us. Today it is quite out from the

tourist circuit, being situated in the north of the town, at half

distance between the two railway stations, the central one and that of

the resort, on a road without pedestrian ways. But it is well

maintained and information about it is available at the tourist

office. It has only a ground floor and a built in roof. Today it is

elderly home. For example, also in Keszthely, another resort on the

shore of lake Balaton with historic constructions, situated at the

western end, on the place of the Festetics castle of today, built

1880, there was a lordly house, the Pethő-kúria. Even in Balatonfüred

there is the Esterházi Kúria from aprox. 1700, today a ruin, included

in the heart disease hospital from the Reform time centre (from the

wikipedia page on Balatonfüred).
