The Basilica of Eger
The Basilica in Eger bears the official name of St. Basil’s Basilica. St. John the Apostle and Evangelist, St. Michael and the Immaculate Conception. This beautiful neoclassical Catholic church is one of the three largest churches in Hungary. Currently, the basilica serves as the cathedral of Eger.
Shashvar Castle
Not far from the small town of Matrahaza, against the backdrop of a picturesque mountain landscape and huge ancient pines stands the amazing beauty of the Shashvar Castle. The castle complex of several buildings is surrounded by a magnificent park, spread out among cozy Hungarian villages.
Lyceum in Eger
The Eger Lyceum occupies a very magnificent building. However, built as a university, it never received this status — despite the imposing facade. Ignaz Gerl, a respected Viennese architect, was hired to build the building.
“Marzipan” in Eger
“Marzipania” is entirely dedicated to the sweet almond delicacy, which is just so plastic in nature that you can mold it into whatever your heart desires. This is what the founder of this original museum in Eger has been doing for many years.
