Tihany Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Tihany, Hungary
This Baroque monastery sits on the eastern edge of the Tihany Peninsula, with two towers rising above Lake Balaton at 46 meters long.
King Andrew I established the monastery in 1055, making it one of the earliest Christian religious foundations in medieval Hungary.
The founding document of Tihany Abbey contains the first written words in Hungarian language, preserved within its Latin text from 1055.
The abbey museum opens Monday through Saturday, displaying religious artifacts and offering guided tours of the church and crypt.
The monastery cells remain simple while the refectory and library feature detailed Baroque designs, following traditional Benedictine architectural principles.
