Ruins of the Bishop's Summer Palace

Bishop György Szatmári had his Renaissance summer house built in the middle of his hunting garden between 1505-1520, and it is likely that the villa was designed by an Italian architect.

In the 16th century it was used by the Turks as a Dervish monastery. The name Tettye is a reference to this, as it derives from the Turkish word tekke, which means dervish monastery. Its ruins can be seen today. Behind it are restaurants, villas and the pump house.
