An Excursion to Abasár, Tarnaszentmária and Feldebrő

On 7^th March, led by Archabbot Asztrik, Benedictine and lay colleagues (our archivists among them) visited the remains of the mediaeval buildings excavated on Bolt-peak of Abasár. The ruins of the Benedictine abbey that once serves as the burial place of our King Aba Sámuel and the archaeological findings were introduced to us by the archaeologists: Feld István, Csornay Boldizsár, Ringer István and Horváth Ciprián.

After the field-tour, we went to see the churches in Tarnaszentmária and Feldebrő, both from the 11^th century. Next to the latter one, once there was a Benedictine monastery whose church was Aba Sámuel’s first burial place before Abasár.
