Knights' Tournament
A medieval programme organized all year long, performed by the Saint George Knightly Order in the open air theatre of the Lower Castle in Visegrád. The show is available for groups on demand from 30 attendees. For smaller groups and individual guests, it is always possible to join the booked events.
- Guests are welcomed by fanfare on arrival to the tournament.
- An introduction is told to the visitors about the history of the town and the castle, while visiting the Solomon's Tower (including exhibition rooms on request).
- The roof terrace of the tower provides an excellent view of the Danube bend, welcome drinks are served here (wine, or cocktail with freshly baked salted cookies on request)
- The performance takes place on the tournament field located next to the tower. A king and a queen are selected from the guests, they are dressed in robes and crowned by the knights.
On the call of the king, the knights march in and show their targeting and fighting skills with medieval weapons to the royal couple and their guests. The realistic face-to-face battles recall the courage and spirit of the medieval knights in an exciting way with a bit of humour.
- Our open-air performances feature the royal falconer.
- At the end of the show, guests have the opporunity to try some of the weapons with the help of the knights.
- If the tournament is followed by a royal feast in Renaissance Restaurant, guests march (torch-light in dark) to the restaurant (200 meters) led by drummers.
The auditorium features a roof and cushioned seating capacity of 300 people, therefore it is available in all weather conditions.
During the winter period, the show is performed inside the Solomon's Tower, and guests are welcomed with hot wine or tea.
