The “Creative City – Sustainable Region” (KRAFT) program in Kőszeg, Hungary, is an innovative initiative that revitalizes urban and rural areas by harnessing creative social energies and leveraging local values for a sustainable future. At the heart of this concept lies Kőszeg, a town renowned for its unique built heritage, vibrant school town identity, and rich cultural and religious communities. The program’s achievements include the successful restoration and functional transformation of seven historic buildings in Kőszeg’s historical centre. These beautifully refurbished structures, including the Benedictine Monastery, Europe House, Festetics-Chernel Palace, Sgraffito House, Szemző House, Zwinger Old Tower, and the 19th-century Synagogue, serve as exemplary models of the KRAFT concept in action.
