Waxworks museum of the Castle of Diósgyőr
The waxworks museum of the Castle of Diósgyőr is a waxworks museum, one of the largest ones in Central Europe. It is situated in the northeastern tower of the Castle of Diósgyőr, in Miskolc-Diósgyőr, Hungary. Most of the wax figures can be seen in the rondella of the tower, in six scenes: Everyday life in mediaeval Diósgyőr with ten wax figures. Knights' tournament with ten wax figures. Mediaeval fair with fourteen wax figures. George Magyar (Georgius Ungarus) in hell: According to a legend well known in the Middle Ages (but generally unknown today and usually told by a tourist guide in the wax museum), George was a knight in the army of Louis I. During a campaign in Italy he massacred innocent civilians, and as a penitence he was sent on a pilgrimage to the St Patrick's Purgatory in Ireland, which was believed to be the entrance to Hell. He survived it, and because of this later he was thought to be a holy man. Among the fourteen wax figures we can see him with the priests, the massacred people and the demons of his visions.
