4 Former Bishop’s Palace at Castle of Eger in Eger, Hungary

After paying a small admission at the castle ticket office, you pass through an arch and see the former Bishop’s Palace. Püspök Ház was built in 1470 during the reign of King Matthias. The simple yet elegant Gothic design was commissioned by Bishop János Bekensloer. The building now houses the István Dobó Castle Museum. Inside you will learn the castle’s history plus cringe at the displays of Medieval punishment. An adjacent structure serves as the Eger Art Gallery displaying the works of Hungarian and other European masters.
