Central Transdanubia Sights
Monuments
Composed of a number of cells, a church and a monastery, the
Baroque-style hermitage was built from 1733 to 1769 in accordance with the
ancient rules of the Camaldolese order, whose monks take a vow of silence.
This early Gothic 13th century chapel
stands next to and is built together with the Bishop's Palace.
Perhaps the best preserved modern-age military complex in
Central Europe, it is an architectural and military masterpiece. The
largest part of a system of fortifications at Komárom has been called the
'Gibraltar of the Danube'.
The castle was started in the 13th century in Gothic style, then
extended and partially rebuilt in a Renaissance style in the 14th and 15th
centuries.
Hungary's best-preserved fortress presumably was built before
the mid 13th century since King Béla IV lived here for a while during the
Mongolian invasion (1241-1242).
