Lonely Planet review for Héderváry Chapel
The Gothic Héderváry Chapel contains one of the most beautiful (and priceless) examples of medieval gold work in Hungary, the Herm of László. It's a bust reliquary of one of Hungary's earliest king-saints (r 1077-95) and dates from the early 15th century. If you're looking for miracles, though, move to the north aisle and the Weeping Icon of Mary, an altarpiece brought from Galway by the Irish Bishop of Clonfert in 1649, who had been sent packing by Oliver Cromwell. Some 40 years later - on St Patrick's Day no less - it began to cry tears of blood and is still a pilgrimage site.
