The Ruins of a Monastery of the Middle Ages

King Béla III. established a cistercian abbey in Pásztón in 1190. The cistercians took the buildings of the former benedictine abbey and in the first third of the 13th century they extended and reconstructed the sanctuary of the church.

Centuries of Pásztó

A new exhibition on the history of the town opened at the Pásztó Museum at the end of 2007, on the 600th anniversary of Pásztó's declaration to market town.

The history of the cistercian order in the Middle Ages

After the change of regime the Hungarian Cistercian Order demanded and gained back the monastery building, which was handed over to Pásztó for museologic purposes. One of the conditions was to demonstrate the history and monasteries of the Hungarian Cistercian Order.
