History

The castle was built in 1630 in Renaissance style. It was reconstructed in Baroque-Classicist style in 1789. It is now the town museum.

The Archeological and Historical Association was founded in 1892. Its first president was the Hungarian Odescalchi Arthúr (1837-1925), Prince of Szerém and also a wealthy landowner of northern Hungary. The vice president, Dillesz Sándor (1835-1907), donated his entire archeological collection to the association, whose purpose was to collect material for the Museum of Bars to be established.

The Museum of Bars was established in Aranyosmarót on May 12, 1896 on the 1000th anniversary of Hungary.
