Abstract
Archaeological research of the southern plateau next to the
Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Remete commenced
in 2007. During three campaigns, the massive foundations
of two earlier sacral buildings were found. In addition
to this exceptional architectural find, 128 graves were
examined, which according to previously analyzed finds
(pilgrimage badges, religious medals, crosses, rosaries) can
be dated to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. During
research, ten gold forints were also found. Although
discovered outside of their context, they clearly accentuate
the time when Matthias Corvinus aided the monastery,
destroyed in an assault by Ottoman troops, by building a
tower and a wall surrounding the entire complex in 1485.
