Zsámbék
Zsámbék is much more than its famous ruined Premonstratensian church. Medieval road geography, castle power, Swabian resettlement, plague memory, Baroque rebuilding, the 1763 earthquake, wine cellars, convent education and modern preservation all fit inside a compact basin west of Budapest.
