Cistercian Church

The Cistercian Church in Eger is a Baroque building with a two-tower facade, white walls, and classical design elements that reflect the architectural style of its era. The interior features a main altar with a painting depicting religious scenes.

Construction began in 1700 but faced disruptions during a military conflict, with the building finally completed in 1743. The long construction period reflected the unsettled times the region experienced.

The name reflects the Cistercian order that once worked here and shaped its spiritual character over centuries. Inside, religious artworks continue to express the faith and devotion of those who gather in this space.

The building is accessible year-round with no entrance fee, making it an easy stop for any visitor. It serves an active role in the community, particularly for weddings and religious gatherings.

A large bell cast in 1830 still hangs in the building from an era when bell-casting was a refined craft. This object ranks among the country's few large historic bells that remain unaltered.
