The Szentendre City Museum, founded as a local history collection and named after the painter Károly Ferenczy, was housed in the former Greek Orthodox Serbian School building in 1951. When the museum center of Pest County moved from the capital to Szentendre with the establishment of the county museum directorates, the museum building was expanded with a new wing. The permanent exhibition, which occupies both the old and new wings of the building and is based on the artistic legacy of the Ferenczy family, opened in 1973, and the name of the institution was then changed to the Ferenczy Museum.

The Serbian Orthodox Church reclaimed the building in 2000, taking advantage of the possibility of ecclesiastical compensation. The handover took place in 2010. At that time, the reconstruction and expansion work began in the 18th-century Pajor mansion, a listed building on Kossuth Lajos Street, and on June 18, 2013, the new Ferenczy Museum opened here.

How to get there?

The museum opens from Kossuth Lajos Street. It can be approached from the Duna Promenade via Petőfi Street and Fürdő Street, or from Dumtsa Jenő Street via Szabadság Square.

By HÉV: HÉV departs to Szentendre from Batthyány Square approximately every half hour. The H5 line takes 40 minutes.

By boat: Mahart’s daily services from Budapest and Esztergom also stop in Szentendre during the summer. The water taxi (Dunataxi) offers an extremely fast and enjoyable journey.

Szentendre can be reached from Budapest, Esztergom and Visegrád on the main road 11. For those arriving from the left bank of the Danube, the eastern part of the country and the M0, the Megyeri Bridge makes it easier to get here.
