Rákóczi Museum In Tekirdağ

Time to see how an exiled Hungarian noblemen lived. Francis II Rákóczi led an unsuccessful uprising against the Habsburgs in 1703 and was then forced into exile, finally settling in Tekirdağ in 1720. He lived there until his death in 1735.

Front exterior of his house, on a hill, with a view to the sea.

In case you forget who lived there, a wall mounted bust of Rákóczi greets all visitors. The house is a pilgrimage site for Hungarians. In case you forget what noblemen in the 1700s wore.

The fanciest room in the house. Lounge anywhere you like, except the throne chair.

Mod cons, for 18th century. Kitchen and crapper.

Family history in Old Master oil paintings, the polaroids for the rich.
