Information for disabled

Dear guests!

We provide free of charge for our disabled guests (upon presentation of a valid ID card), which also applies to +1 main companion.
 

The services of the Royal Castle of Gödöllő are accessible to visitors with disabilities almost without exception. It is only on the steep stairs of the Horthy bunker where we cannot ensure a safe descent with a wheelchair.

 

Visitors with certain psychosomatic illnesses

In the case of our guests who, due to their illness, their fear of the crowd or strangers would interfere with a comfortable visit, we provide the opportunity to visit before opening or after closing at no extra charge.


For our visitors with limited mobility

Our disabled visitors arriving by car can also access the main entrance from the car park in front of the main entrance of the Castle via the barrier-free driveway.

Visitors arriving alone in a wheelchair should contact our museum’s colleagues, who are available to approach the ticket office and cloakroom.

Wheelchairs are available in the cloakroom (courtesy of the Hungarian Wheelchair Foundation).

The exhibition spaces can also be reached by lift. (Our security officers at the main gate are also happy to help you with this.)

Passing through the hall, you can approach the Courtyard and the park, on the renovated 5-hectare area of ​​which you can also walk on the crushed small stone promenades with a wheelchair.

The washbasin to the right of the hall is barrier-free for those who have difficulty accessing the washbasins in the basement, but barrier-free washbasins are also located in the Lovarda area.

For group visits, please check in 7 days before arrival.


For our hearing impaired visitors

An induction loop helps our hearing-impaired guests to access information at the ticket office, the Ballroom and the Baroque Theater.

An induction loop for the audio guide is available at the ticket office.


For our visually impaired visitors

A Braille map in the lobby helps orient our visually impaired guests. An A4 museum Braille map is also available at the ticket office.
Considering that it is forbidden to bring animals into the area of ​​the Castle, our guests arriving with a guide dog should announce their visit in advance, if they can, thank you!

Story cube – a new educational tool

Story cube – a new educational tool

Together with the Museum of King Jan III’s Palace at Wilanów and the Italian non-governmental organisation Stazione Utopia, we exchange knowledge and experiences as well as train and teach how to encourage local communities gathered around museums to engage in voluntary work and how to talk about cultural, natural and historical heritage in an interesting manner. Together with our colleagues from Hungary and Italy, we have created a publicly available educational tool – the story cube that supports volunteers and educators in learning how to build a unique story, organise arguments, build independent judgments about the object or phenomenon in question, while incorporating their own stories and experiences. Activities implemented as part of the project: International Learning, Teaching, Training (LTT) meetings, during which a group of experts from Wilanów, Gödöllő and Florence selected in the programme exchanges good practice and then trains one another in areas such as working with volunteers and immigrants as well as creating an engaged community around institutions. Four meetings: two in Warsaw and two in Florence and Gödöllő, respectively, have been held during the course of the project. Transnational Project Meetings (TPMs) in each of the participating organisations help us implement our planned activities effectively. Developing an educational tool, known as the story cube. The tool supports the adult education personnel in contacting the local community and engaging it in activities related to the voluntary programme. An online seminar to discuss the experiences we have gained and disseminate the educational tool we have developed is to be held in January 2023. Writing a series of articles on informal adult education and engaging the local community in the activities of institutions. Feel free to check out the materials on the Electronic Platform for Adult Learning in Europe (EPALE): Local community engagement in museum programs: practices, experiences and challenges and Też tak chcę! Story cube – a new educational tool   As part of the Erasmus+ project, “Museum of Communities”, along with our partners from the Museum of King Jan III’s Palace at Wilanów and the non-governmental organisation Stazione Utopia in Florence, we have created a new publicly available educational tool.The story cube supports our work with volunteers in terms of creating engaging and unique stories about museum items. We have designed not one but two cubes: senses cube, to support the process of experiencing objects through our senses; mind cube, to encourage users to think and reflect critically. Story cubes allow the users to ask questions about heritage objects and look at them in a new manner, inspiring them to learn collectively and have a discussion. The tool may be used with both beginners and advanced storytellers. Story cubes are a universal solution to be used in adult education. The project has been co-financed by the European Commission from the Erasmus+ programme supporting strategic partnerships at a European level. Projects related to education and training promote the development of knowledge in Europe and make it possible to achieve the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy – sustainable development and social inclusion.

The queen's furniture has returned home!

The queen's furniture has returned home!

The queen's furniture has returned home! Queen Elizabeth's personal furniture, dressing table and glass showcase arrived at the Royal Castle in Gödöllő   Dr. Tamás Ujváry, the managing director of the Royal Palace of Gödöllő Public Benefit Nonprofit Ltd., reminded that the castle operates as a real Sisi cult place. The building also celebrates its anniversary, as it was abandoned by the Soviet army thirty years ago and then opened in 1996, albeit only in part, to visitors in 1996. The anniversary is also connected with the arrival of the two special pieces of furniture, which were successfully repurchased with the help of the National Castle Program and the NÖF, said Dr. Tamás Ujváry. Speaking about the National Castle Program and the National Castle Program, which he supervised as a ministerial commissioner, Zsolt Virág said that they are aimed not only at the restoration of the buildings, but also at their mental rehabilitation. This includes returning any former furnishings to the walls, he noted. According to him, Queen Elizabeth's former dressing table and glazed display case appeared at an auction in Germany, where they were bought back at a starting price, and from Friday the public can meet the artefacts in the castle's permanent exhibition in the queen's dressing room.
