A thousand years on one hill
What to see on the Hill of Our Lady
From the basilica through the library to the herb garden — the monastery and its surroundings can be walked in one visit. This page takes you through everything there is to see on the hill.
The monastery and its grounds
The heart of the complex: church, library, cloister and the medieval foundations.
Library
One of Hungary's finest Baroque library halls, with a collection of some 400,000 volumes.
Cloister
A late Gothic walkway completed in 1486. In the Middle Ages the communal rooms opened from here.
Crypt
The oldest part of the complex to survive intact, from the early 13th century.
Treasury
Liturgical objects, goldsmith's work and mementoes from the monastery's centuries.
Other sights
Workshop, cellar and chapel — what is worth seeing beyond the monastery walls.
Abbey Winery
A thousand-year winegrowing tradition on 52 hectares: fresh whites, rosés and barrel-aged wines. Winery of the Year in 2023.
apatsagipinceszet.huMuseum of Scents
Hungary's first scent museum: five medicinal herbs from the abbey gardens and seven historic fragrances.
Abbey Brewery
Revived in 2020 from 11th-century archival sources, using contemporary Hungarian equipment.

A 22-hectare protected garden whose history reaches back to the abbey's founding: several hundred tree and shrub species, some rare in Hungary. Free to visit all year.
