Episcopal Palace

Episcopal Palace, Episcopal residence in Pécs, Hungary.

The Episcopal Palace in Pécs stands beside the cathedral, its wings enclosing a trapezoidal courtyard. The northern, eastern and southern wings date from the 12th century; the facades took their Baroque form under Bishop György Klimó in the 18th century, and the eastern front was rebuilt in neo-Renaissance style between 1838 and 1852 for Bishop János Scitovszky. Inside, the staircase displays 18th-century tapestries, and Károly Lotz painted the dining room.

The building began in the 12th century as the bishops' residence in Pécs. Over the centuries it was modified and adapted many times, yet always maintained its purpose as the official home of the local bishop.

Inside, the staircase displays artworks, among them 18th-century tapestries, and Károly Lotz painted the pictures in the dining room. An episcopal library also operates in the palace, and Imre Varga's 1983 sculpture of Franz Liszt stands on the balcony.

Visitors can explore the building on guided tours to see historical rooms and religious objects. It is helpful to wear comfortable shoes as there are multiple staircases and rooms to walk through.

The staircase holds 18th-century tapestries, and Károly Lotz painted the pictures in the dining room. Imre Varga made the sculpture of Franz Liszt placed on the balcony in 1983. An episcopal library also operates in the palace.
