Archiepiscopal Palace, Archbishop's palace in Eger, Hungary.

The Archiepiscopal Palace features decorated hallways containing ecclesiastical objects, period furniture, and an extensive collection of ceremonial artifacts from different eras.

The palace dates back to the early 1700s when bishops returned to Eger after fleeing during the Ottoman wars of the 16th century.

The palace museum displays numerous Hungarian artworks, including paintings by masters such as László Mednyánszky and Gyula Benczúr in its dedicated exhibition spaces.

Located at Széchenyi István Street, the palace complex includes a cultural center, visitor facilities, and an ornamental garden open to the public.

The palace walls reveal seccos of birds painted on dry mortar, discovered in 2013 beneath 30 layers of paint during reconstruction work.
