Monastery

Tereske  

The Tereske Benedictine abbey was most likely founded around the beginning of the thirteenth century to honor the Virgin Mary and the first documents referring to the abbey date to 1219. After 1466 it was dissolved, and the furnishings were given to the Benedictine nuns of the Esztergom Island by King Wladislas II.

The church of the abbey was used as a parish church in the village and is still used to this day. It was rebuilt in the late-gothic style during the early sixteenth century. In the eighteenth century it was turned into a Baroque church. The foundations of the old abbey are still visible around the structure. It is known for its unique mural paintings depicting scenes from the legend of Saint Ladislas dating to approximately the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, as well as for the Renaissance pastophorium from the late fifteenth century.
