Eger Castle

Highlight • Castle

Eger Castle (Hungarian Egri vár) is a castle in the Hungarian city of Eger, located on a hill immediately west of the city center. The hilltop castle was built from the early 13th century and is historically best known for its successful defense against the Ottoman siege in 1552, which was literary processed in the novel Stars of Eger by Géza Gárdonyi (Wikipedia).

The tour is scheduled to last one hour.

St. Anthony of Padua Church (Minorite Church)

Highlight • Religious Site

At the time of the Turkish wars, the city was repeatedly attacked. In 1552, a small army (less than 2100 residents and soldiers under the leadership of István Dobó) was able to defend the city from a huge Ottoman superiority (described in the novel "Egri Csillagok/Stars of Eger" by Géza Gárdonyi). It was the first major defeat for the Turks, and Europe already breathed a sigh of relief.

However, in 1596 Eger was conquered and remained under Ottoman rule for 91 years. During this time, mosques and baths were built - the minaret, which is still preserved today, is considered the northernmost historical building of the Ottomans.

After the Turkish siege of Vienna, the Habsburgs succeeded in counterattacking and driving the Ottomans out of Central Europe. Under the leadership of Charles of Lorraine, Eger was reconquered in 1687 and by 1701 the Habsburg armies had conquered almost all of Hungary (Wikipedia).

Cathedral of Eger

Highlight • Religious Site

The Cathedral of Eger in the northern Hungarian city of Eger (German: Erlau) is the episcopal church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Eger. The classicist domed basilica with the patronage of the Evangelist John and the Archangel Michael was built between 1831 and 1837 according to plans by József Hild. It is the second largest church in Hungary (Wikipedia).

Kethuda Mosque

Highlight • Religious Site

The Kethuda Mosque was a mosque in the old town center of Eger (Hungary). The almost 40 m high minaret of this mosque has been preserved today, one of only three in Hungary today, alongside the minaret of the Hamza Bey Mosque in Érd and the minaret of Pécs. The minaret is the northernmost Ottoman structure in Europe.

It is possible to climb the minaret. However, there are usually waiting times because the number of visitors in the tower is limited.
