Landscapes of Desire
16th International Art Symposium
Castle Fertőrákos, Hungary, 14.-29.7.2006


Fertőrákos, Hungary

www.fertorakos.hu

The Hungarian municipality Fertőrákos near Sopron, since 2001 part of the World Cultural Heritage, is located near the Austrian border, 70 km from Vienna. Fertőrákos has a very interesting historical past and an outstanding cultural infrastructure, such as a roman quarry with a columned hall that locates a theatre with 740 seats, the Mithras-Sanctuary - a rock chapel established 2000 years ago by roman border guards -, and a 700 year old castle, the former episcopal see. The inscription into the World Heritage List was decided as this area has been the meeting place of different cultures for eight millennia. This is graphically demonstrated by its varied landscape, the result of an evolutionary symbiosis between human activity and the physical environment. The remarkable rural architecture of the villages surrounding the lake and several 18th- and 19th-century palaces adds to the area's considerable cultural interest.
