This collection features medieval ruins of the Pauline Order, Baroque parish churches, and the unique organic design of the Lutheran church in Siófok. Visitors can explore 13th-century Romanesque ruins in Ádánd, historic Reformed churches in Balatonfüred, and secluded hillside chapels that have served local communities for centuries.
