Zsolnay Mausoleum

A Free Mason's resting place

Pretty but we didn't know we had to buy tickets before we hiked to the top so just be careful

An amazing once in a lifetime experience. Great fun, food and drinks. Good service. Reasonable prices.

This a great plave to visit, but I recommend viewing the entire cultural center first to get the history and background of the mausoleum.

Worth to visit if you are in Pecs!

It's creepy to say, that a burial object is beautiful, but it's a fact, indeed. Based on my convincement, that the porcelain made in the Zsolnay Manufactory is one of the best and the most beautiful in the world, it already assumes high standards. This burial chamber of the Zsolnay family is a testimony of a new techniques called "eosin". It's made from different metals and depending on which metal is dominating this "mixture", it begins to play in its respective colour (green, yellow, silver, red, purple, etc.) when lighted. The sarcophagus of Miklós and Terézia Zsolnay (husband and wife, who established the manufactory) is covered with "eosin". Their sarcophagus is situated in the middle of the basement, while the floor over it has a big circle opening. On the 21st of December each year - when the winter starts - at 11:00 the sunshine is lightning through one of the windows directly on the altar, which reflects different colours of the "eosin" into the basement - it's a unique "light game", which makes this burial chamber even more mysterious. Of course, for this phenomena a clear sky is absolutely necessary (without clouds). After nine years in a row, it was the very first time, we could observe this magnificent "light game" and to realize "the secrets of the "eosin"".
