Pannonhalma
Towering over the Pannon region of Northern Hungary, the Basilica and the educational buildings and chapels of the Benedictine Archabbey of Pannonhalma guard a thousand-year-old history, with its library and collections representing outstanding cultural value. It is definitely worth visiting the monastery here, which was founded in 996 by Benedictine monks in honour of Saint Martin, and which is as old as the Hungarian state. The Abbey also welcomes visitors with a botanical and herbal garden, a tea house, a restaurant, a vineyard, a wine house and a pilgrims’ house – these are all good examples of the continuous renewal and innovation of this monastic community
