Foundation
The Benedictine monastery in Tihany was established in 1055 by King Andrew I of Hungary (r. 1046–1060).[1] It was dedicated to the Holy Virgin and to Saint Bishop Aignan of Orleans.[1] King Andrew was buried in the church of the monastery in 1060.[2] His tomb in the crypt of the church is the only grave of a medieval King of Hungary which has been preserved up until now.[2]
The church's ceiling is decorated with frescoes by Károly Lotz, depicting Faith, Hope and Love.
