King St. Stephen Museum

The museum's permanent exhibitions hosted by the former Cistercian convent are: Treasures of Millennia; Fragments of the History of Fejér County; Székesfehérvár in medieval times and during the Turkish occupation; Roman Lapidarium.

Outstanding items of the archaeological collection include the Bronze Age treasures discovered at Nadap and the finds from the Igar grave of an Avar chief which was rich in golden jewellery. Stone carvings represent the medieval times while the unique collection of a several-hundred-piece dinner set and jewellery of the Hadik family dating from the 18th and 20th century, also known as the Seregélyesi treasure, evoke more modern times.

The Fejér County and Székesfehérvár Archaeological and Historical Association was founded in 1873. With permanent exhibitions initially hosted by the Town Hall, the King St Stephen Museum became the successor of the organisation from 1910 onwards. The museum took possession of its new home in 1929, staying there until it was transferred to the former Jesuit (Cistercian) monastery in 1992.
