Péiföldszentkereszt

Péiföldszentkereszt is a Marian shrine in the village of Bajót at the eastern foothills of the Gerecse Mountains. The site comprises a baroque church, monastery buildings, and a calvary path that form a religious complex.

The site's first documented mention dates to 1265 under the name Pél. The baroque church that stands today was built in 1735 under Prince Imre Esterházy and has defined the shrine's appearance since then.

The Salesian community manages this place as a spiritual center where visitors participate in programs and retreats. The community shapes how the shrine is used daily and keeps its religious character alive.

The shrine offers accommodations and a youth center for visitors who want to spend time at this spiritual place. It sits along the National Blue Trail hiking route, making it easy to include in a walking tour.

According to records from 1732, the place became known after a reported healing of a disabled child on May 30, 1730. This story connected people from the region and turned the shrine into a destination for those seeking spiritual help.
