5 Best Sights in The Danube Bend, Hungary

Ferenczy Múzeum

The museum, founded in 1972, was created to honor the work of Impressionist Károly Ferenczy, and important leader in the Nagybánya Artist Colony in the late 19th century. But the museum also exhibits the work of his wife, children, and brother, all of whom were popular artists of the early modern era.

Görög templom

Gracing the corner of Görög utca (Greek Street) and Szentendre's main square, Fø tér, the so-called Görög templom is actually a Serbian Orthodox church that takes its name from the Greek inscription on a red-marble gravestone set in its wall. This elegant edifice was built between 1752 and 1754 by a rococo master, Andreas Mayerhoffer, on the site of a wooden church dating to the Great Serbian Migration (around AD 690). Its greatest glory—a symmetrical floor-to-ceiling panoply of stunning icons—was painted between 1802 and 1804 by Mihailo Zivkovic, a Serbian painter from Buda.

Kmetty Múzeum

The museum displays the work of János Kmetty, a pioneer of Hungarian avant-garde Cubist painting.
