Town of Bamberg
From the 10th century onwards, the town became an important link with the Slavic peoples, especially those in Poland and Pomerania. From the 12th century onwards, Bamberg reached its peak, with its architecture having a profound influence on northern Germany and Hungary. At the end of the 18th century, Bamberg became the centre of the Enlightenment in southern Germany, with famous philosophers and writers such as Hegel and Hoffmann living here.
Millenary Benedictine Abbey of Pannonhalma and its Natural Environment
The first Benedictine monks settled here in 996. They went on to convert Hungarians to Christianity, founded the country's first school, and wrote the first Hungarian-language document in 1055. Since its founding, this monastic community has been instrumental in promoting culture throughout Central Europe. The monasteries, built in various styles (the oldest building dates from 1224), still house schools and monastic communities, reflecting their 1,000 years of history.
