2,000 people visited Rakoczi Museum
Ali Kabul, Director of the Rakoczi Museum, told Anadolu Agency (AA) that the house where the Hungarian prince, who took refuge in the Ottoman Empire, lived safely in Tekirdağ, is now preserved as a museum as a symbol of the trust and hospitality of the Ottoman Empire.
Stating that the interest in the museum increased after the epidemic, Kabul said, "This year, Hungarian tourists, especially Bulgarian tourists, visited the museum the most. We had around 2,000 visitors in the first 7 months. In autumn and towards winter, the number of visitors to the museum will increase with tours of tourism companies. "
Kabul stated that the house where Rakoczi stayed as a guest in Tekirdağ was purchased by the Hungarian government in 1931 and built in accordance with the original, and Hungarians who come to the city definitely visit the museum.
Stating that the museum has become a cultural symbol of Turkish-Hungarian friendship, Kabul said, "Visitors in the museum show more interest in the section used as Rakoczi's study hall, carved armchair and dining hall. Rakoczi came to Ottoman lands with 250 of his brothers in arms after the promised aid did not come. Rakoczi spent 15 years of his life in this house. It attracts the attention of visitors both because it has memories of Rakoczi and because it reflects the Ottoman civil architecture of 300 years ago."

The leader of the Hungarian uprising against Austria, which occupied Hungary, II Frenc Rakoczi did not succeed because the expected aid did not come.
Rakoczi, who had to leave his country due to his failure, stayed safely at home in Tekirdağ from 1735 until his death.
The house on Barbaros Street, which has been converted into a museum, is visited by many Hungarians as well as local tourists.
