Highly recommend visiting this beautiful spot! Please be aware that the winery requires tickets purchased at least a day in advance - you cannot buy tickets once you’re there. The in-person tours are only in Hungarian but you can purchase an audio tour, which I recommend. I bought a bottle of wine at the gift store and enjoyed it.

I recently visited the Pannonhalma Archabbey in Hungary, and it’s an absolute gem for history, architecture, and culture lovers. Sitting on a hill with stunning views, it’s the oldest school in Hungary, dating back to 996 AD. The Romanesque architecture reflects its Benedictine roots perfectly.
The library was a highlight—full of ancient books and manuscripts. The whole place was surprisingly quiet during summer, which made the experience even better. The main restaurant was closed, but I found a pizza spot nearby. Don’t miss out on their lavender products and the abbey’s own beer—great for souvenirs, the beer was tasty and they have different strength. You can purchase those in the gift shop.
It’s close to the Baroque town of Győr, so definitely worth adding to your trip!

Website said it is open, we checked weeks in advance and a couple days before visiting. When we arrived the abbey was closed due to a music festival, they said the website was updated - that morning. The library could be visited on a tour, so at least we got to see that

Unique location of the monastery and very well preserved interiors including the librery.

It is really a hidden pearl in this region. The abbey at the hills. A lot of possibilities to walk around. You can visit some areas inside the abbey, the most impressive for me was library.

Beautiful place you can spend whole day. Satisfying for those, who seek spiritual, historical and also environmental rest. Arciabbey with basilica, monastery, library, lavender and other herbs fields, arboretum, and down in the town - nice pizza, beverages places - this all is worth visiting. No problem with utilities - parking, toilets. Whole farm, parking lot & tourist centres are financed from EU funds so it is freshly new and modern.

Lovely abbey which is a unesco world heritage site. Need to take local bus to get here but well worth the trouble. Lots of history and the view from above the mountains is the best.

Nice library, the church was unfortunately closed for private event, and the winery tour should have been booked in advance at least a day before. The Tricollis white wine is one of my favourite That can find there’s
