Eger Minaret
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.
