The Millenary Benedictine Abbey of Pannonhalma together with its natural environment, is a World Heritage Site of Hungary. The abbey, which is located at the top of a 282-meter hill is one of the oldest historical monuments of the country.

The Benedictine monks who founded the abbey had a long historical significance with the development of Hungary. From their settling there in AD 996, they were instrumental in converting the Hungarians, in establishing the first school in Hungary, in producing the first document written in Hungarian, and in promoting and uplifting the local culture.
