Pomáz

Pomáz is a town in Pest county in Hungary. It lies on the S -Bahn route of Helyiérdekű Vasút ( HEV ) between Budapest and Szentendre.

History

This area in the plane on the right bank of the Danube north of Budapest has been inhabited since the Bronze Age. Scythians, Celts, Romans, Lombards and Avars have left their mark here. The name probably derives from the Latin word ' Pomosus ' ( orchard ). The first written mention dates from the year 1138 in a document of the Hungarian King Béla II, known as Béla the Blind, ( 1110-1141 ). The certificate is in the possession of an abbey.

Attractions

Pomáz is known by its Serbian Orthodox Church. As in the nearby Szentendre, there were also a Serbian community since the time of Ottoman rule. In addition to a Roman Catholic, there are a reformed church in the city.

Another significant building of Pomáz is the Teleki - Wattay Castle, built in 1773 in Baroque style as the seat of the noble family Teleki. In the second half of the 19th century it was extensively renovated. After the Second World War it was initially used as an orphanage, then generally as a device for childcare. After 2000 it was renovated with funds from the European Union again. It is now a three-star hotel and is a venue for cultural events such as music projects, also known as the Choral Castle.
