Törley Mansion
Törley is the leading sparkling wine producer in Hungary. It was founded by József Törley in 1882 in Budafok and over the course of the following years became one of the leading sparkling wine producers in Europe. History József Törley had no children, so the factory was inherited by his brothers and their sons. Under the management of these heirs, the factory continued to flourish. By 1910, there was significant competition from other sparkling wine producers in Hungary. Budafok alone had 18 different producers operating, but the Törley plant still had the greatest market share in Hungary. The winery's output reached 2 million bottles and Törley had become one of the leading brands of sparkling wine in Europe. After World War I ended and the Trianon Peace Treaty was signed, the level of sparkling wine production by the Törley plant significantly decreased and touched bottom during the Great Depression. In 1929-30, the annual production barely reached 200,000 bott ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

One of these raids had sacked the nearby town of Vä in 1612. Vä then lost its charter and the people were moved to the new, better fortified city. The king ...
