Cathedral Treasury

TIME : 2016/2/18 20:16:46

The Cathedral Treasury, just east of the cathedral across Kossuth Lajos utca, is a trove of gold and bejewelled objects, vestments and church plate. The large bust of St Stephen was cast for the Millenary Exhibition in 1896 and contains 48kg of silver and 2kg of gold. Among other valuable objects is a 16th-century reliquary of St Anne and a gold and crystal baroque monstrance.
