Pannonhalma Attractions

 
Visitors come to Pannonhalma mainly in order to see the famous abbey of St Martin (Szent Márton hegy), the parent abbey and focal point of the Benedictine order in Hungary. Monks have lived here right up to the present day, apart from a short interruption between 1786 and 1802, when the building was secularized. The grammar school run by monks as a boarding school is recognized by the state and enjoys an excellent reputation. Since 1997 the monastery, together with the Lady Chapel, the Calvary and the surrounding cultural region is on the list of World Cultural Heritage Sites.
