Benjamin Rajeczky exhibition

The Rajeczky Benjámin memorial hall was opened on 11th November 1992. Rajeczky Benjámin had been an excellent citizen of the town. He was born in 1901 in Eger and died in 1989 in Pásztó. He is burried under the gothic bethel of the St.Lőrinc church.

Medieval smithery

The walls of three settlements were excavated to the South from the glassworks. The baroque monastery was built upon the Southern wing of the third room.

The history of the cistercian order in the Middle Ages

After the change of regime the Hungarian Cistercian Order demanded and gained back the monastery building, which was handed over to Pásztó for museologic purposes. One of the conditions was to demonstrate the history and monasteries of the Hungarian Cistercian Order.

Pictures from the history of Pásztó

Because of its favourable geographical conditions Pásztó had been inhabited as early as in the prehistoric era. After the Hungarian conquest the region was shifted into the ownership of the Hungarian royal family. In the 12th century there was possibly a monastery functioning in Pásztó.
