The Millenary Monument is one of seven erected to commemorate the thousandth anniversary of the conquest of Hungary in 896. The principal elements of the area around the monastic complex are the forest and the botanical garden. The forest, on the eastern slopes of the Pannonhalma landscape, is largely the traditional oak forest of this region. Criterion (iv): The Monastery of Pannonhalma and its surroundings illustrate in an exceptional manner the characteristic setting, the connections with its environment, the specific structure and the organization of a Christian (Benedictine) monastery that has evolved over a thousand years of continuous use. Thus, the monastic complex incorporates all the venues of Benedictine monastic life.
