The episcopacy of Eger was founded by Steven I (the first Christian king of Hungary) in 1009. The church built during the first period in the history of the episcopacy has decayed almost without a trace. However, the ruins of the Norman style church that has three naves and was built in the 12th century can still be seen today. The current fortress was built after the Mongol invasion of Hungary in 1241-42 and was in its glory in the second half of the 15th century; the Gothic style episcopal see, where the Fortress Museum may be found, today was built at that time. Eger was the only town in 1552 to resist the invasion of the Turkish army which was superior in number. Inside the fortress visitors may see the Fortress History Exhibition, Hall of Heroes, Casamates, Gallery, and the Dungeon. Ispotaly Cellar and the Eremverde (Mint) are brand new facilities.

This is a wine growing country. The viticulture in the region dates from the 13th century. The most famous wine of Eger is the full-bodied red wine Egri Bikavér, sometimes referred to as “bull´s blood” because of the deep red colour. But there are other good wines, like Egri Leányka and Egri Medoc Noir.
