On 26 April 2025, Mária Magdolná Bódi, who left a deep mark on the world through her life and martyrdom, will be beatified. The travelling carvings are small mementos of Bódi Mária Magdolna's spirit and life, each bearing a spiritual message and Christian thought, and their purpose is to remind us of the power of faith and the importance of passing on love. Visitors can discover and collect these pebbles, take photos with them and share them on the Bódi Mária Magdolna travelling pebbles Facebook group. During the walk, visitors can not only enjoy the historic beauty of the Castle Street itself, but also walk a symbolic path that promotes inner stillness and renewal.
In autumn, Veszprém, the city of the queens, reveals a particularly magical face as you walk along Vár Street, revealing the wonderful world of the past and sacral heritage. The Biró-Giczey House, located in the historic quarter of the town, next to the St Michael's Cathedral and the Holy Trinity statue, offers unique exhibitions telling heart-warming stories. The atmosphere of the National Heritage-listed Vár utca provides the perfect backdrop for this experience, with each exhibition opening a window on Veszprém's past and Christian heritage.
Within the walls of the house, times gone by come alive, but it is not only the exhibits that make this place special. The interactive exhibitions offer surprises for all ages, playful and exploratory experiences that take you even further away from the mysteries of the city. Visitors can take part in an exciting treasure hunt, where they can solve puzzles and explore every corner of the house. The "Angel Stairs" game is particularly interesting, where the path leads you along stairs guarded by angels, each step posing a new question. Will they succeed in unlocking the secret?
Opening hours of the Biró-Giczey House:
- Tuesday-Friday: 5pm-7pm
- Saturday-Sunday: 10am-6pm
Registration for the WIP'24 guided tour
WIP'24 guided walks start on Saturday and Sunday at 11:30am, 2pm and 4pm.
