Refurbished Camaldolese hermitage of Majk inaugurated

Budapest, September 2 (MTI) – The refurbished Camaldolese hermitage of Majk was inaugurated in northern Hungary on Wednesday.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by government office chief Janos Lazar, who noted that the Camaldolese contributed greatly to Hungarians taking back and rebuilding their country in the 18th century after 150 years of Turkish rule.

State secretary Laszlo L. Simon said the refurbishment cost 885 million forints (EUR 2.8m) and was financed entirely by European Union funds. He said a new permanent exhibition presenting the order’s way of life would soon be opened at the hermitage. He said the Forster Gyula National Heritage and Asset Management Centre, which now operates the hermitage, expects the site to receive around 37,000 visitors a year.

The Majk hermitage is one of the few Camaldolese hermitages in central Europe which have remained intact. The hermitage is composed of 17 detached units, seven of which function as guesthouses.
