The crypt is a few minutes\u2019 walk from the castle. We know that L\u00e1szl\u00f3 I Tisza, who retook the estate, did not try to build a grand residence during his first years in Geszt. Maybe he felt his imminent, untimely death, because in addition to creating a solid financial foundation for his family\u2019s future and supporting the issues of his church, one of his first large expenditures was the construction of the family crypt where he was soon to be laid to rest. According to the Chronicle of Fekete Geszt, the crypt was built in the new cemetery between 1764 and 1769.<\/p>\n

The present building was erected in 1902, and after that the remains of family members who passed away elsewhere were also taken to the family crypt in Geszt. Currently there are 33 persons buried here, including great figures of Hungarian history: Prime Minister K\u00e1lm\u00e1n Tisza, the Count of Szeged, Lajos III Tisza, and Prime Minister Count Istv\u00e1n IV Tisza. The crypt reflects the prestige of the family, and the Tisza ladies are also buried here, including Countesses Katalin Teleki, J\u00falia Teleki and Ilona Degenfeld-Schomburg, Ot\u00edlia Holles, Mrs. Istv\u00e1n Tisza Jr n\u00e9e Jol\u00e1n S\u00e1ndor, Countess Erzs\u00e9bet Keglevich, and Vilhelmina Tisza (wife of baron P\u00e1l Lusenszky).<\/p>\n

Many of the Tisza children with great promise and talent died young, including the poet Domokos and J\u00f3zsef Tisza in the 20th century. Child mortality used to be high, from the children of L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Tisza and Katalin Teleki, J\u00f3zsef, K\u00e1roly, Ferenc and Emilia are buried here, and so are the children of Lajos Tisza and J\u00falia Teleki, Lajos, L\u00e1szl\u00f3 and B\u00e9la\u2013in a shared coffin since 1877. Prime Minister Istv\u00e1n Tisza wrote in the family Bible when Juliska Tisza died: \u201eOur little daughter born on 13 September 1889, christened Juli\u00e1nna<\/u> Paulina, the great Almighty took her on 1 January 1894.\u201d According to his last will, Lajos K\u00e1lm\u00e1n Tisza, who passed away in Argentina in 1974, is also buried here.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
