Spreading out over 12 hectares on the east bank of the Eger Stream is the city’s main public park.
For centuries this was an episcopal property, used as a hunting ground from the 1200s, and only opened to the public in 1919.
In the 18th century the space was turned into a formal garden under Erdődy Gábor Antal and during the bishopric of Eszterházy Károly in the second half of the 18th century the space was walled off.
