Minaret in Érd

The cylindrical limestone minaret reaches 23 meters in height, featuring a conical transition section and a polygonal upper segment with reconstructed parts.

During the 17th century, Ottoman builders constructed this minaret as part of a mosque complex, which stood near an ancient Roman military road.

The minaret belongs to a group of three remaining Ottoman towers in Hungary that demonstrate the Islamic architectural influence in Central Europe.

Visitors can locate the minaret next to Mecset Street, with information plaques in multiple languages providing details about its construction and purpose.

The entrance to this stone structure sits elevated above ground level, leading to an internal staircase that accessed the caller platform.
