Eger Castle

Eger has been inhabited since the Stone Age. During the early Middle Ages the area was inhabited by German, Avar, and Slavonic tribes. Hungarians occupied the area in the 10th century. St. Stephen (997–1038), the first Christian king of Hungary founded an episcopate in Eger. The first cathedral of Eger was built on the Castle Hill, upon the present site of Eger castle. Eger was built around its former cathedral, and has remained an important religious centre of Hungary since its founding.

The 14-16th centuries were an age of prosperity for Eger. Winegrowing, for which the town is famous, began to be important at that time. During the reign of King Matthias (1458-1490) when Renaissance culture began to affect Hungary, bishops of Eger had beautiful buildings built. Matthias Corvinus as depicted in Chronica Hungarorum by Carl van Vechten Matthias Corvinus (Matthias the Just) (February 23, 1443 (?) – April 6, 1490) was King of Hungary, ruling between 1458 and 1490. ...


During the Turkish occupation of Hungary, Eger became an important border fortress. The 1552 Siege of Eger was a miraculous defence by Hungarian forces in the face of overwhelming odds. Under the command of Captain István Dobó the defenders of the castle (fewer than 2,000 people, including women and children) successfully fought back a Turkish army of 80,000 soldiers.

"stars of Eger") by the 19th century Hungarian author Gárdonyi Géza. // Combatants Ottoman Empire Kingdom of Hungary Commanders Ahmed Pasha István Dobó Strength Between 150,000 and 200,000 Approx 2,100, including civilians The Siege of Eger occurred in 1552 during the 16th Century Ottoman Wars in Europe It was a major Hungarian victory after a series of crushing...

In 1596, a bigger army of the Turks attacked Eger, and took the castle after a short siege. Eger then fell under Turkish rule for 91 years and became the capital of a Turkish vilayet (administrative division). The Turks transformed churches into mosques, rebuilt the castle, and built other structures including public baths and minarets.

Eger began to prosper again. The bishops reclaimed the town, causing many of the Protestant inhabitants to leave. During the 1703-1711 war of independence against the Habsburgs, the town supported the Hungarian leader Prince Francis II Rákóczi, but the Imperial army defeated the Hungarians, and soon after that Eger suffered from a plague. During the 1700s many people immigrated to Eger, and between 1725 and 1750 the population has risen from 6000 to 10,000. New buildings were built in Baroque (and later in Zopf) style, including the cathedral, the Episcopal Palace, the county hall, the college (now called Eszterházy College after its founder) and several churches. Also the mosques were transformed into Catholic churches. Image File history File links Metadata Size of this preview: 800 × 600 pixelsFull resolution (2592 × 1944 pixel, file size: 1. ...

The 19th century began with disasters: a fire destroyed half of the town in 1800, and the southern wall of the castle collapsed in 1801, ruining several houses. Eger became archiepiscopal seat in 1804. Despite the town's struggle for greater freedom from the church's rule, the archbishop remained firmly in control of the town. In 1827 a fire damaged most of the town center again, and four years later an epidemic killed more than 200 people. In Christianity, an archbishop is an elevated bishop heading a diocese of particular importance due to either its size, history, or both, called an archdiocese. ...


The inhabitants of Eger took an active part in the revolution in 1848. Even though the revolution was suppressed, the age of landowners and bondsmen was gone forever, and Eger became free from the archbishop's rule in 1854. Sadly the railway main network was complete by that time so Eger was not included on the main line between Miskolc and Budapest, leaving the role of railway junction to the nearby small town of Füzesabony. —Alexis de Tocqueville, Recollections The European Revolutions of 1848, in some countries known as the Spring of Nations or the Year of Revolution, were the bloody consequences of a variety of changes that had been taking place in Europe in the first half of the 19th century. ...

After World War I, economic recovery started slowly. Gárdonyi's "Eclipse of the Crescent Moon" (1899) made Eger popular as a tourist attraction, and the archaeological excavation of the castle began. In World War II, the retreating German army, and the occupying Soviet troops all had their effects on the town, but the town was never bombed. “The Great War ” redirects here. ...


Today's Eger is a prospering town and a popular tourist destination with a charming Baroque town centre.
