De la Motte–Beer Palace

De la Motte–Beer-palota

One-storey Baroque building. An arcaded corridor runs along the courtyard side, and the upstairs rooms are decorated with frescoes in good condition. In 1760 it became the property of the de la Motte family, who expanded it and made it a Baroque palace. At that time, the arcaded corridor of the courtyard side also be made. The de la Motte family could not enjoy the ornate little palace for long because they sold it. In 1773, the new owner became József Kajetán, a pharmacist. After World War II, complete renovation began in 1962. It was then that the original, mostly Baroque-Rococo wall paintings of the interlocking upstairs rooms emerged from later layers of paint. The decorative painting, which has survived in good condition, is believed to have been made in the 1760s or shortly thereafter, and its creator is unknown. The figural parts mostly depict biblical scenes and landscapes, the ornamental parts are characterized by a variety of floral motifs and a rich world of colors. Today a lifestyle history museum can be found here.
