Which cultural sites and themes can you explore?
The cultural center’s four permanent exhibitions cover different subjects: local history, Csörgey, Bernáth Aurél and local artists. If you are interested in a particular subject, you can use these descriptions as a guide rather than viewing the offerings simply as a general cultural program.
The Bernáth Aurél Gallery is a separate institution: it holds an exhibition each year featuring one of Bernáth Aurél’s students. This annual exhibition is a separate point of interest alongside the permanent exhibition at the cultural center. When planning your trip, it is helpful to distinguish between the two institutions: one houses the four permanent exhibitions listed above, while the other hosts an annual exhibition featuring one of his students.
The religious buildings also have different historical and local associations. The Fülöp Jakab Chapel in Belső Ábrahám was built in 1614 on the western slope of the ridge towards Rendes. The Szent Iván Chapel stands on Kápolna Hill, at the western edge of the Ábrahámhegy vineyards, and dates from 1757. The Catholic Church of St. László on Patak Street was consecrated in 1986; its altarpiece is by painter Erzsébet Udvardi. These details help distinguish each site by its date and location.
