The very first church in Visegrád was built by St Stephen himself, shortly after 1009, the date of the document in which the name of the town is first mentioned.

Visegrád, as the county seat of the time, was an extremely important area not only in military but also in administrative terms, so the parish church built in the early years of the reign of St Stephen (the first parish church in the county) was converted into the archdeaconry church a few decades later. The interior walls of the building, which stood out among similar churches of the time for its size, were decorated with frescoes. Few people know it, but the Visegrád church of the Archbishop was home to one of the earliest Hungarian frescoes.

In the exhibition you can get acquainted with the world of Árpád-era Visegrád, and through it the beginnings of Hungarian history, and spend an exciting hour on the mountain under the spell of Hungary a thousand years ago.
