Tétszentkút

Legend of the place of pilgrimage


As the legend tells us, the soldier of the imperator, Keresztély Ailert, has dreamed at 1715 that the forest spring of Tét would heal him from his illness. He wend there an took a bath in the spring and got well. Due to this occasion a small chapel was built and a copy of the painting of the Virgin Mary was put in.

The message of the wondrous healing attracted many pilgrims. Till 1744 the Barok church of Szentkút was built at the place of the chapel.
The main pilgrim’s day is the 12. September, the name day of Mary.

During daytime the door of the church is open normally, but you can not enter the church totally.
