Tolna County Hall

Tolna County Hall, Neoclassical administrative building in Szekszárd, Hungary.

The Old County Hall is a one-storey neoclassical building on Béla király tér, set behind trees that separate it from the square. Its entrance is a portico of six columns, and the U-shaped wings enclose an inner courtyard planted with European yew trees, where the excavated foundations of the medieval abbey church are displayed.

Tolna County moved its seat from Simontornya to Szekszárd in 1779, rented the disused abbey estate buildings in 1780 and bought them in 1783, converting them under József Jung and József Hacker. After the medieval abbey church burned in 1794, a ground-floor north wing by Vencel Schmidt enclosed the courtyard in 1804–1805. Mihály Pollack gave the building its present form between 1828 and 1833, and it was inaugurated on 8 August 1836 by Count Károly Eszterházy.

The courtyard holds the excavated foundations of the medieval abbey church, displayed beside century-old yew trees, with one vaulted springing stone set on its own concrete column. King Béla I was buried somewhere within the area of today's courtyard. Summer concerts are often held among the trees.

The building sits in the city center and is easy to spot while walking through town, making it simple to include in a wider exploration of Szekszard. The exterior can be viewed and photographed from multiple angles, and nearby streets offer good access to other local sites.

The courtyard holds the excavated foundations of the medieval abbey church, and King Béla I was buried within the area of today's courtyard. A vaulted springing stone from the church was set on a separate concrete column. Archaeologists uncovered the church and abbey remains between 1967 and 1972.
