Eger - Cistercian Church Cisztercita templom

The largest building in Széchenyi utca is the twin-towered Cistercian Church (Cisztercita templom) built, like the Franciscan church, on the foundations of a Turkish mosque. Although work was started in 1699 after the Turks withdrew, it was 1733 before the building was complete. Although it may appear rather unprepossessing from the outside, the interior furnishings are of extremely high quality.
