PROTESTANT CHURCH

For many years, neither the Calvinist nor the Lutheran communities in Hévíz had a dedicated place of worship. From the 1920s, services were held in private homes, the Cultural Hall of the Spa Hospital, or the small auditorium of the local cinema.

Roman-era ruins

In the Egregy district of Hévíz, one of the most important Roman-era discoveries of the Balaton region was unearthed: a nearly 1,000 m² stone villa built around AD 100. With its columned portico and bathing pools, it reflects the advanced bathing culture of the time. The villa and its surroundings were inhabited for centuries and, after several reconstructions, survived until the early 5th century. Excavations also revealed a Mithras sanctuary, economic buildings, and early coins – all suggesting that the Romans settled near the miraculous lake not only for economic but also for spiritual and medicinal purposes.
