Rákóczi Múzeum

The Hungarian National Museum's Rákóczi Museum operates in the Sárospatak Castle.

The Glorious Age of the Rákóczi

The museum's main permanent exhibition provides an overview of the entire history of the Rákóczi family, linking it with the 17th–18th century flourishing of Sárospatak, the contemporary city of Patak.

Prince George I Rákóczi's Cannon Casting Workshop

Prince George I Rákóczi, the Transylvanian prince, had a cannon casting workshop built in Sárospatak. The facility, which can be classified among flame furnaces and employed technical solutions common in the 17th century, operated between 1631 and 1648. According to the available data, a total of 80 cannons were cast in Sárospatak, mainly in the category of field cannons. The archaeological excavation that began in 2006 brought to light, over six years, the remains and artefacts hidden beneath the castle park. In the reconstructed cannon casting workshop, the former flame furnace and casting pit, as well as the cannon casting process, can be viewed.

Adventure in Weapon History

In the summer of 2021 the museum opened a temporary weapons history exhibition from the estate of József Pál Urbán, a high school history teacher who passionately collected copies of medieval weapons made in Spain.
