Diósgyőr’s knights were left without a home

He said: “The renovation of Diosker Castle and the closure due to the Covid-19 epidemic did not affect us well, as our performances until then were organically linked to the annual program of the castle – Gabor Binky, vice-president of the association, who added that after they got a place in Ade, they had to move to IfiHáz because of the energy crisis. – Later on, they tried to solve this problem by having the organizer come up with an event called Pajta playhouse, which runs in the arena of jockeys tournament. Now, however, alienation has come to the fore, and we are going to Visegrád, Füzér, and Regéc, and in the last place I personally help with the organisation. The association has one training session a week on Saturdays with eight to ten people, our youngest member being fifteen years old.”

His surroundings are irreplaceable

the Diósgyőr Shooting, Equestrian and Tradition Preservation Association It was founded in 2015. They immediately considered Diósgyőr Castle as their home, and they still have the same feeling about the place.

“From the very beginning, we have a cooperation agreement with the Miskolc Cultural Center, which currently offers us a place on the equestrian warm-up track next to Lovagi Tornák Tere,” he said. Norbert PaskPresident of the association. – The only thing that has changed for us since the renovation is that we cannot enjoy the irreplaceable historical site that Diosgir Castle has to offer, but we hope that we will be able to return as soon as possible. In any case, the deportations did not create a new situation for the association, as we were called elsewhere before, so we got used to it.

The chief is not only connected to the magnificent building by the thread of the association, for as a fine connoisseur of medicinal herbs, he also gave lectures in one of the small rooms of the castle.

“The chain of these events did not stop due to the renewal, but rather continued in the various cultural centers of the MKK,” said Norbert Paschke.

Invited guests also feel inferior

the Association of Brotherhood Juhaniyyah sword and the cross Although he hadn’t stockpiled his weapons and trained in the area, they still missed the castle’s environment.

“The last time we were at Lagos Nagy’s former residence was about three years ago,” he said. Tamas Kalachdi vice president. – Of course, this period has become chaotic not only because of the renovation, but also because of Covid. We performed here once or twice a year, but we looked forward to these occasions with great joy, because it is better to perform among friends on home soil. You go to such a show in a completely different spirit, not to mention that it is invaluable if you don’t have to get up so early for the flight.

The members of the association always train in the Vasgyár district, where their warehouse is also located. Also, they continue to be invited to Visegrád, Nagyvárad and Krasznahorka, but not only to castles, but also to schools, camps and daycare centers for children.

They hope to see the inner walls of Diosgir Castle again next year.
