In the heart of the Veszprém Castle District, where history is present in every stone, the Biró-Giczey House will open its doors again in the first days of May. The sunshine and the blooming beauty of the baroque garden are a great opportunity for visitors to discover the special treasures of the past in a family-friendly, experiential environment.
What can you see and do here?
One of the real gems of the exhibition is the Lancea Regis (Royal Lance) coin, a symbol of Hungarian royal power. A small object that carries the legacy of centuries - well worth a longer stop in the exhibition!


One of the most special parts of the house are the frescoed rooms, where the ceilings come to life by the hand of the masters of the Baroque era. Softly billowing clouds, golden halos and smiling angels evoke the religious and artistic world of the 18th century. For a moment, visitors can feel as if they have been transported into the colourful whirl of a timeless feast.
Behind the humorous title, there is a serious content: the exhibition "My head is not a chapel" shows the everyday life of the old chaplaincy. Of particular interest are the chalices on display, which are not only liturgical instruments but also beautiful examples of the diocese's artistic heritage.
A special challenge for children and adults! Will you manage to help a student priest to find the secret password? The interactive game "My Head is Not a Chapel" offers exciting, thought-provoking fun - making every visit a real discovery!
By spring, the garden of the Biró-Giczey House has become a veritable Garden of Eden: flowering shrubs, birdsong and the gentle harmony of Baroque forms beckon you to relax. The jewel of the garden is the intimate bust of Mary Magdalene Bódi, which offers a place for quiet contemplation and short prayers.
