Over
Korte feiten: De muren hebben meer dan duizend jaar geschiedenis meegemaakt, van de inwijding in 1039 tot de herbouw na de Ottomaanse invasies. Binnen bevindt zich de oudste crypte van Hongarije, met zuilen en kapitelen uit de elfde eeuw die maar weinig Europese gebouwen bewaren.
Hoogtepunten: In de crypte dragen vier originele stenen pilaren uit het jaar 1000 het gewicht van tien eeuwen op hun met geometrische figuren gebeeldhouwde kapitelen. De akoestiek is overweldigend: wanneer de organist 's middags repeteert, stromen de orgelnoten door het schip alsof het gebouw zelf zingt.
Insidertips
- Avoid the guided group tours at noon; early on Fridays there is hardly anyone.
- Bring a small flashlight to appreciate the reliefs in the crypt, where the lighting is dim.
- If the bells ring at twelve o'clock, stay still under the west porch: the echo bounces off the four towers.
- The combined ticket with the chapter treasury and the church history museum costs only 1000 HUF extra and is worth it.
