National Széchényi Library Historic Cistercian Library

The historic library is found on the second floor of the Abbey building. The first books were brought here by the monks of Heinrichau in the 18th century when they came and founded again the Cistercian Abbey. The number of books swell to 65,000 volumes by 1950 when the State took possession of the library following the dispersal of the monks of the Cistercian Order. Fortunately, the National Library was allotted the task of its upkeep, and this task they have performed and are performing today, while the proprietary rights have reverted to the Cistercians.
