Résumé:  

In Hungary, the number of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO-s) preoccupied with castles was limited until the fall of communism. After the 1990s, however, their number quickly increased. In general, it was the inhabitants of a castle’s neighbouring region that organised themselves into various associations. Their goals most commonly included the preservation, conservation of the castles and raising the public awareness about them. Most associations establish links with the local museum, the National Office of Cultural Heritage or with specialists in castle research. The most important problem is that
a fruitful dialogue, which would support the works, rarely develops. In some cases, their well-intended actions meant to further the works even break the law. In the article we will present the Association of the Castles of Northern Hungary, On the way to Northern Castles, the Friends of Csókakõ Castle Association, the Association for the Kereki Castle, the Veszprém County Castellanship, the Friends of Szádvár and the Castrum Bene Association.
