Bodrogolaszi Church

Bodrogolaszi, Hungary

Bodrogolaszi Church with a round-arched apse was built on a hill in the 12th century. Its hole windows justify that besides the religious function, the church was also of strategic importance. The church was originally designated for the Walloons, immigrants occupied with vine-culture in the Tokaj-Hegyalja region. The church was reconstructed several times: in the end of the 18th century, in the second half of the 19th century and the end of the 1970s. The latter was the biggest reconstruction, when the building gained its finals shape.

Thank you for the guarantor entry to the balcony of the tower Samuel! ? To get the key, you can ask the wine shop on the street opposite the tower ... in front of the market.

Nice little Árpádian church next to Bodrog.

Nice, uniform 12th-century building - with remnants of architectural decoration in places - in the wedge part of the village on the banks of the Bodrog.

A place for camping by the river. Benches and a place for bonfires. Peace and quiet. Always an angler.

At the bank of the river bank, the parish church of the former Walloon settlement, the parish church raised in honor of St. Nicholas, stands out over the leader of the Bodrog Center, which has been used for centuries. The settlement was first mentioned in 1244, when IV, Béla installed Italian vineyards here, but it is mentioned in the church in 1201. The bell in the tower was poured in 1904. The caretaker of the church is very willing, its contact with the church can be found.

Dryburgh Abbey

Dryburgh Abbey on the banks of the River Tweed in the Scottish Borders was founded in 1150 in an agreement between Hugh de Morville, Constable of Scotland, and the Premonstratensian canons regular from Alnwick Abbey in Northumberland. The arrival of the canons along with their first abbot, Roger, took place in 1152.

It was burned by English troops in 1322, after which it was restored only to be again burned by Richard II in 1385, but it flourished in the fifteenth century. It was finally destroyed in 1544, briefly surviving until the Scottish Reformation, when it was given to the Earl of Mar by James VI of Scotland. It is now a designated scheduled monument and the surrounding landscape is included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.

David Erskine, 11th Earl of Buchan bought the land in 1786. Sir Walter Scott and Douglas Haig are buried in its grounds.
