Visit to Bakonybél, Hungary - St Maurice Monastery (July 2024)

The last time we had the pleasure to visit Bakonybél was probably in 2016 and the area has changed a lot since then. The monastic community founded by St Stephen has been active in Bakonybél since 1018. The monastery complex (church, visitor centre, guest house, herb garden) has been renovated in recent years, with new exhibition spaces and the results of excavations completed last year. The visitor centre also sells local products, including lavender. We have selected some of the images taken during our visit with Brother Barry.
