Vindornyalak

Vindornyalak is a village of about 100 inhabitants, located 19 km north of Keszthely. The most characteristic building in the village is Hertelendy mansion, built around 1780 with late Baroque features, now a community center with guest rooms. The church was built in the same period, designed by Bishop Gáspár Hertelendy in Neo-Classicist style. It is decorated with a Baroque organ and seccos. The ornate houses of burgesses from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the village house converted from a farmhouse, and the sandstone crosses are all hallmarks of local architectural heritage.  Hollókő rock rising on the southern side of Kovácsi Hill offers a view of the Vindornya Basin and the Zala Hills. The wines of the vineyards belonging to Zalaszentgrót Vintners’ Association represent local tradition.

Vindornyalak is located on the eastern side of the Keszthely Hills, between Vindornyaszőlős and Zalaszántó. It can typically be reached by bus on the Sümeg-Keszthely route.
