Márianosztra Strict and Medium Regime Prison

The Márianosztra facility combines both prison operations and religious structures, including a basilica within its grounds at coordinates 47.8685°N, 18.8697°E.

The Sisters of Charity established the prison in 1858, converting a former monastery of the Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit into a correctional institution.

The Our Lady of Hungary Basilica remains an active religious site within the prison complex, representing the intersection of spiritual and correctional functions.

The facility operates under two security classifications, maintaining separate areas for inmates requiring strict supervision and those under medium security protocols.

The prison incorporates 19th-century architectural elements from its monastic origins while functioning as a modern correctional institution within the Hungarian penal system.
