Turje Things to Do

This church is one of the oldest and best preserved church of the Order of Premontre, built in its current form around 1230 in early gothic style.

The original building underwent a significant restoration in the 18th century when baroque
style frescoes were painted by Istvan Dorffmeister. During the latest renovation a medieval wall painting was found, depicting the legend of St. Laszlo, a Hungarian saint king.

In Turje, most families have a smaller or bigger vineyard in the surrounding hills ("on the Hill", one would say). The view is pretty from most of these places, particularly because the church dominates the landscape, and quite good wines might be found. I liked very much when we went there to work in the vineyard, because my grandma often made "pogacsa" (like salty scones) and I could eat grapes and walnuts and apples and anything I could find, and we were together.

Turje is indeed famous for its church: it's an impressive brick building (brick was rarely used as construction material in the Middle Ages), visible from long distances and a great symbol of the village.
