The region is proud to host numerous important historic monuments: the bone relics of the Bavarian princess Gisela, wife of the state founder Saint Stephen I, are housed in the archbishop’s palace in Veszprém, while the copy of the oldest written text monument containing Hungarian words, the founding charter of the monastery in Latin, is kept in the Benedictine Abbey of Tihany.
Visit Sümeg and Szigliget
If you also want to admire our medieval fortresses from the inside – those that put the troops of the Ottoman Turks to the test – visit Sümeg and Szigliget, too. If the family is interested in a cultural programme, visit the Salesianum located in the main courtyard of Veszprém Castle, where numerous programmes and liturgical exhibitions, a medicinal herb garden, a violin making demonstration workshop and a children’s activity corner also await those who are eager to immerse themselves in a bygone age!
