The building of theYellow Castle was begun at the
beginning of the 18th century and was finished in
1770. In 1858 Arpad Ipolyi wrote the following about
this Castle in the series of his articles called Corn
Island Pictures on the pages of Sunday Paper:
“‘‘Besides the newer and more beautiful houses of
this small town, there is an older sight, the castle of
the Kondes in Pokatelek. ... Bishop Konde had the
house built rather nicely according to the mansard
taste of the last century for his famous family.” The originally baroque style of the
castle was converted into classicism in the beginning of the 19th century. It is a twostorey building divided by wooden pillars and a central vertical protrusion starting
from the bottom of the front of the building and ending in a baroque apex. Besides the
portal with a semicircular arch the facade is also broken by rectangular windows and
straight and arched ledges. Between 1970-72 the Csallokozi Museum was moved here
from another important castle in Dunaszerdahely known as the White Castle, where
the Museum was established in 1964. Moric Bacsak had the White Castle built. It was
an example of late classicism built in the end of the 19th century. This two-storey
building with square windows and various vertical protrusions on its outside was
pulled down after the relocation of the Museum.
