Experience the peace of mind at the Camaldolese Hermitage in Majk
Although Majk is only a small Hungarian village, an hour’s drive from Budapest, it still preserves a precious piece of European cultural heritage.
Visiting Majk’s Camaldolese hermitage offers a glimpse into the past, where visitors can learn about the daily routines of the Camaldolese monks, their relationship with the Catholic Church. From the iconic tower of the hermitage to the liturgical objects on display, every corner of the place has a story to tell.
The monks in white robes lived in this beautiful place surrounded by forests and lakes. Admire their ornate refectory, the monastery and its intimate courtyard. You can visit 17 detached cell-houses, the remaining tower of the church and the U-shaped mansion, originally built as a monastery but later converted into a hunting lodge by Count József Esterházy.
The unique complex of hermitage is the only one on the continent open to the general public.
Immerse yourself in the silent peace of the hermits
The Camaldolese monks, who had made a vow of silence more than 250 years ago and spoke to each other only twice a year: at Easter and Christmas, lived here in their separate cell houses.
While wandering within the walls, visitors can experience the serene atmosphere of the monastery and the peace of the monks.
After your visit, you can enjoy a variety of local sweets, cakes and delicious coffee in the cozy café. Cake lovers can choose from a selection of lavender, cocoa and other cookies designed in the architectural patterns of the monastery, or try the chocolate and coffee “Hermit” bar, inspired by the fact that hermits also enjoyed coffee.
