The
Archbishop's Palace, located at 5 Széchenyi utca (Széchenyi Street),
has been the residence of the Archbishop of Eger since 1740. The
Central Exhibition of the Archbishop's Collection, housing valuable
treasures, can be found in this building. The items on display are
masterpieces of 18th and 19th century goldsmiths and textile artists:
monstrances, chalices, reliquaries, chasubles and robes. The artefacts
related to Erdődy Gábor, the Bishop of Eger, which he received
from Maria Theresa, are of special value. The robe, which was also the
Queen's gift, is famous for being worn by Maria Theresa when she was
crowned queen.
