The first church to be built on castle hill was that constructed for the bishopric of Eger which was founded by St. Stephen. It was succeeded by a cathedral built in the romanesque and gothic styles. The bishop's castle, which was fortified after the Tatar invasion of 1241, underwent continual improvement up until the beginning of the eighteenth century. As a result of the heroic defence of the castle against the Turks in 1552 Eger Castle won renown and gained a patriotic significance as a symbol of Hungarian resilience. The following exhibitions can be seen within the walls of the István Dobó Castle Museum.

The station, designed by the postal engineer Jenő Schámár, was begun 1943, but due to damage in the Second World War, not completed until 1948. The museum occupies what was the main transmitter room, with some smaller adjoining rooms. The park in front of the building contains an open-air display of some relics of Hungarian broadcasting (antennae etc.).

The collection plays a dual role. Firstly, information is given to the visitors on the peaceful use of nuclear energy by a permanent exhibition. Secondly, the remembrances of the commissioning and operation period of Paks Nuclear Power Plant and other written and objective documents are collected and displayed, which are in connection with the application of nuclear energy in Hungary.

The main task of the museum is to search for and exhibit relics and manuscripts connected to geography and Hungarian travellere. Besides our well organized guide services we place an emphasis on our relationship with primary and secondary schools. We often hold museum programmes and activites.

The Tábornokház by the Alsókapu in Kőszeg now functions as the Municipal Museum. It was named Tábornokház (General’s House) as it was the house the generals of any garrison used to stay when visiting Kőszeg.

The exhibition on Kindergarten History has been open for over 10 years in the building hiding under the chestnut trees in the yard of the castle of Martonvásár. The leave for operating the museum came in 1990 in Nyíregyháza. The founder and leader was Mrs. Harcsa Tibor. She had been collecting material for the exhibition years before the opening of the museum.
