Minorite Church

The Eger Minaret, probably built at the beginning of the 17th century, is the northernmost Ottoman monument in Europe and the highest and best preserved of the three intact minarets in Hungary. During 91 years of Turkish rule, a total of ten minarets were erected in Eger, but only one remains. The mosque that was attached to the minaret was transformed into a Catholic church dedicated to St. Joseph after the Turkish domination, then into a hospital in the 18th century, and finally demolished in 1841. A church was built in its place.

The Cathedral Basilica of Eger, built between 1831 and 1836 according to the plans of József Hild in the classicist style, is one of the largest churches in Hungary. It replaced a medieval church, which served as a mosque in Turkish times, and was demolished in the 1820s. The basilica was fully completed in the 1950s, when, among other things, the frescoes on the church ceiling were made.

The Memorial Synagogue in Gyöngyös is an Ashkenazi synagogue completed in 1813 by architect Károly Rábel. This Neo-Classical brick building now serves as an office.
