Explanation:
Correct me if I'mn wrong, but I think a díszudvar is specifically a three-sided courtyard, usually symmetrical suitable for official functions and celebrations, and open on the fourth side so crowd size is not so limited.

If that is the case, then English uses the French term "cour d'honneur."

Here's a confirmation from the Hungarian wiki:

http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cour_d’honneur

A cour d’honneur (francia kifejezés, magyarra nem szokás lefordítani, kb. díszudvart jelent) kastélyok díszudvara.

...Többnyire három felől, de olykor a bejárati oldal felől is épületszárnyak fogják közre. Később a kiugró oldalrizalitok közti homlokzat előtt, kocsifalhajtóval ellátott tér elnevezésévé vált. Magyarországon is megtaláljuk a példáit, pl. a nagytétényi kastélynál.

inner/internal courtyard


Explanation:
Szerintem az angol nem cifrázza. Belső udvar és kész.
Én inner courtyard-ot írnék.

Lásd:

http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/propertyresults/property...

Monument (section by section): The Castle is situated on relatively level ground. There is a steep grassed approach to the inner courtyard which can be slippery in wet weather. The Castle courtyard is accessed via a stone stepped threshold. The Castle has five levels. The basement has a prison, cellars and bakery. The ground level contains the Dovcot, Inner Courtyard, Kitchen, Drawing Room and bottom level of the towerhouse.

court of honor


Explanation:
A kastély (castle) igazán cicomás udvarát (court / courtyard / forecourt) szerintem angolul úgy nevezik, hogy court of honor. Például a Versailles-i kastély díszudvara: the Court of Honor of the Palace of Versailles (franciául: La cour d'honneur du château de Versailles). Valóban elterjedt a francia forma is, de mivel létezik angol változat, én így mondanám.

"Chambord, which measures 156 meters by 117 meters and has 440 rooms, is the largest of all the Loire castles. In terms of sheer scale, it foreshadows Versailles. (...) Glorious even in death, Maurice of Saxony wanted the 6 canons, which he had placed in the court of honor, to be fired every 15 minutes for 16 days as a sign of mourning."
