Little history about this church

The church building and its neighbourhood
King Andrew I. founded a monasetry and a royal burialplace in Tihany in 1055, in accordance with the tradition of Christian monarchs. Monastery life ceased in the middle of the fifteen hundreds when the building was transformed into a fortress against the Turks, who never occupied it. The fortress, of which no detailed plans have remained, was demolished in the Kuruts times in the 17th centuy. The walking way between the Echo hill and the church is named after Castellan István Pisky.
The Pannonhalma Archabbacy got hold of the monastery and the propery of the Tihany Abbey in 1716. The present buildings were completed in 1754.
