Fő tér, Kezthely's colourful main square, received a facelift in 2012 – the result is a traffic-free, pedestrian-friendly expanse of newly laid white cobblestone surrounded by lovely buildings, including the late-baroque Town Hall on the northern side, the Trinity Column (1770) in the centre and the former Franciscan church in the park to the south. The church was originally built in the Gothic style in the late 14th century for Franciscan monks, but many alterations were made in subsequent centuries, including the addition of the steeple in 1898. The Gothic rose window above the porch remains, though, as does the Gothic ribbing on the nave’s ceiling. Count György and other Festetics family members are buried in the crypt below.
