Bishop's Palace

The Bishop's Palace of Vác is the ecclesiastical centre of the city, along with many other buildings in Vác, the building is an emblematic symbol of Archbishop-Bishop Kristóf Migazzi's work in building the city.

Underneath the huge two-storey building is a basement system, also two storeys high, which was built earlier. At that time there were huge vineyards around Vác, and the cellar was used as a wine cellar. The original plan was to have two U-shaped buildings facing each other, with a patinated ornamental gate opposite the Cathedral. 

As time went on, however, only the present building was completed, leaving space for the magnificent garden, which at the beginning of the century was home to special plants. In this garden, on a niche, once stood the music pavilion that stands a few metres below, on the Danube promenade. 

The interior of the neoclassical, baroque-style palace is still in its original state. Notable is the banqueting hall with its hidden balcony above the entrance, which was once - and still is - the venue for magnificent concerts. The Bishop's Residence, among many other functions, is still the Bishop's home.

Every Saturday at 11:00 a.m. there is a guided visit to the Bishop's Palace for individual guests. The walk includes a tour of the Palace and the Bishop's Garden. It is well worth taking part in these tours, as the two-storey neoclassical building is impressive both inside and out.
