Archbishop's Garden

Archbishop's Garden, Park in Eger, Hungary.

The Archbishop's Garden covers about 12 hectares in central Eger, bordered on the east by the Eger stream. A fountain stands at its centre, built in 2000 on the spot of a Soviet memorial that stood there until 1990. An artificial lake crossed by an 18th-century stone bridge and a music pavilion at the north-eastern entrance are among its features, alongside a sports complex with stadium and covered pitch.

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.

The park was long a private archiepiscopal area and only opened to the public in 1919 under council pressure. Its name changed from Népkert (People's Garden) to Érsekkert in 1990, and on 31 January 2019 it was renamed Szmrecsányi Lajos Érsekkert after the bishop. A Soviet heroic monument stood on the site of today's central fountain until 1990; the fountain was handed over in 2000.

The park covers about 12 hectares, bounded on the east by the Eger stream. Ornamental gates survive on the northern and western sides, and a bridge over the stream links the park to the Eger open-air baths. Sports facilities, the artificial lake and the fountain sit within walking distance of each other.

The park's name changed twice: it was Népkert until 1990, then Érsekkert, and since 31 January 2019 it has been officially Szmrecsányi Lajos Érsekkert. The central fountain, handed over in 2000, stands where a Soviet heroic monument stood until 1990.
