Piliscsaba: Manor House History and Walking Routes

The Uradalmi ház is a renovated, heritage-listed former manor house of Archduke József Antal János (Palatine Joseph), now used for cultural purposes. A permanent local history collection is displayed in three rooms. The Reformed Church in Klotildliget was built in 1939 in the style of Károly Kós; the Székelykapu beside the Reformed Church in Piliscsaba was inaugurated in 1998 to mark the millennium. A 3 km, one-hour circular walk starts at the intersection of Kálvária utca and Gomba utca.

As the former manor house of Archduke József Antal János (Palatine Joseph), the Uradalmi ház represents the estate’s history; today, it serves cultural purposes. The permanent local history collection, housed in three rooms, gives the town’s history a tangible setting. Check the collection’s current visiting arrangements before your trip.

Another historical landmark is the development of estate land in connection with railway construction. During construction of the Budapest–Esztergom railway line, Prince József, son of Palatine József, subdivided around 250 cadastral acres of the Piliscsaba estate into villa plots, laid out a road network and planted avenues. Railway construction is therefore a distinct historical reference point alongside the history of the manor house.

The religious landmarks can be distinguished by their year, occasion and location. The Reformed Church in Klotildliget was built in 1939 in the style of Károly Kós. Beside the Reformed Church in Piliscsaba stands the Székelykapu, inaugurated in 1998 to mark the millennium. The year 1939 refers to the church’s construction, while 1998 marks the inauguration of the memorial. When finding your way, note the different place names: Klotildliget on the one hand, and the location of the Székelykapu in Piliscsaba on the other.
