Szentendre - Hungarian Open Air Museum

 
An excursion to the open air museum about 3km (2mi.) northwest of Szentendre on the road to Visegrád is highly recommended. It was opened in 1974 and when all the buildings and settlements have been moved from their original sites and rebuilt it should be the largest of its kind in Hungary. The plan is to recreate the rural architecture and lifestyle of ten different settlements with buildings typical of the region, predominantly from the 18th and 19th C. Scattered about the gently rolling landscape the individual "villages" are linked by pathways.

Some buildings from West Transdanubia have already been reconstructed as well as a settlement from Upper Tisza region and the Little Hungarian Plain. Together with the houses, which have been reproduced in great detail, the various working quarters, mills, stables, barns, a forge, a weaver's workshop and a village church provide an insight into the everyday life of the rural population.
