Built in 1767 by Jakab Fellner, the palace houses the Archiepiscopal Archives consisting of almost two thousand documents from the 11th to 14th centuries.

I love the workmanship in the exterior of European Buildings. Why don't we make things this beautiful any more? This building is one example of design and skills

Driving along the lake Balaton we saw the brown road sign " Tihany ". With zero info, we drove up to find an interesting village which happened to be a touristic one to our surprised. Parking seemed not easy to find and finally we found one along the village main road. It was a pay parking. We went up following the direction to a baroque Abbey Church. Wow what an idyllic setting. Calendar-inspired views. One can make a pleasant walk in a well-paved pathways. In the Visitor Center, one can buy a ticket for a guided tour + a short film about the Abbey. I recommend this. Friar Richard guided us. A group of tourist had an spontaneous " choir concert ". Around the Abbey is a Guest House that opens whole year round. There is a pastry shop where you can have breakfast or hot meals. It has a terrace overlooking the placid, serene Balaton Lake. Beautiful. When in Balaton Lake, come to this village and be filled with spirituality too. Had a short stay but very meaningful. The Peace of God !

We took a ticket for the palace and one attraction (the coach museum). The palace is very nice, well preserved and contains amazing furniture and many other interesting things. The visit of the palace lasted about one hour and after that we visited the coach museum and the garden. We really spent some lovely hours there.
