A Story That Became Home
Where the elegance of the past meets the warmth of the present
A Dream That Became Reality
In 2008, when Dávid Szép and Tibor András Hangyál envisioned Kastélykert Retirement Home, they weren't just designing a building – they were creating a new way of life. A place where life doesn't slow down, but takes on new colors.
On the edge of Gyula, within reach of the legendary Gyula Castle, embraced by centuries-old oaks, they found the perfect place where tranquility, safety, and dignity meet. Nearly 9,000 square meters of green park, where nature's whisper replaces city noise.
The dream has since become living reality. Since 2011, SALUS-VEGAN Nonprofit Ltd. ensures that every day is special for our residents. Under the leadership of Helga Andrea Szép-Gergely, a community has formed where everyone matters, every moment is precious, and every smile comes from the heart.

Where History Meets Comfort
Two wings, one shared heart
The Historic Wing – Magic of the Past
Imagine: walls that have guarded stories for centuries. Once serving as the economic building of Gyula Castle – it functioned as a granary, brick factory, and even a distillery. When we renovated it in 2008, we preserved every stone, treated every wall with respect.
- Original character walls with modern function
- Direct continuation of the castle's historic section
- Home to our dining room and kitchen – where every meal is made with love
- Authentic atmosphere with 21st-century comfort
The Modern Wing – Comfort of the Future
Built from the ground up in 2008, this wing matches the historic section in style while providing all the comfort a home should offer. This is your residence – apartments that are not just rooms, but real homes.
- 30 square meters – spacious, bright, your own
- Separate bathroom and kitchenette – complete independence
- Ground floor apartments with private terrace – direct connection to nature
- Modern furnishings with traditional elegance
The Community Space – Our Heart
Between the two wings stands the place we call "the heart." This is where we meet, talk, laugh, celebrate. This is the community room where all programs happen, where friendships are born, and where every resident becomes true family.
What We Believe In
Safety Above All
Within our walls, everyone is safe – 24-hour care, trained staff, modern security systems.
Love and Respect
We respect each resident as an individual, listen to every need, cherish every smile.
Home, Not Institution
This is not a "retirement home" – this is home. Your own apartment, your own rhythm, your own life. Only the gift of care and community comes with it.
Community and Belonging
No one is alone here – programs, conversations, shared moments that weave true friendships.
Dignity and Independence
You decide about your life – we just help ensure every day is colorful, full, and happy.
In Harmony with Nature
Nearly 9,000 square meters of park, centuries-old trees, birdsong – nature's healing power is with us every day.
