Two buildings called Haller

In Hoghiz, Olthévíz in Hungarian, the Haller name covers two neighbouring historic monuments. The Haller-Kálnoky Castle (monument code BV-II-m-B-11716) is a Renaissance building with a polygonal plan and two towers; oral tradition says it was built on the ruins of a former monastery. The Haller manor (BV-II-m-B-11717) is a smaller noble house, built, according to historians, in the 16th century and brought to its present size in the 19th century.

Bethlen Kata and the Haller family

In 1716 the estate became the property of Countess Bethlen Kata (1700–1759), for whom Hoghiz became her favourite place in the following decades. After her death, the estate passed to the Haller family. The Ugrai family bought the castle between the two world wars. The manor was returned in 2009 to Haller László, who sold it to the local authorities.
