Archbishop's Garden, Public park in Eger, Hungary.
The Archbishop's Garden is a green space in Eger featuring tree-lined paths, a decorative fountain, and a small pond with a stone bridge. It also contains sports facilities including tennis courts, football fields, and an outdoor exercise area with multiple equipment stations.
The area began as a bishop's hunting ground before being transformed into a public space. Bishop Esterhazy had walls built around it, and it opened to the public in 1919.
Statues of Hungarian writers Geza Gardonyi and Sandor Brody stand within the Grove of Muses section, reflecting how the space honors local literary figures. Visitors can see how the garden serves as a living memorial to these authors and their connections to Eger.
The park is easy to navigate with clear paths throughout the grounds. Visitors can come at any time of year and use the various zones for different activities and relaxation.
Along the eastern edge runs Eger stream, where wild duck families make their permanent home throughout the seasons. These birds are a regular presence for anyone walking near the water.
