Hello!
Could you please let me know if and when there are ORGAN CONCERTS in September?
Are any of them admission-free?
Many thanks,
J.Silvers
Dear John,
At Matthias Church, visiting Buda Castle on Sundays you can experience spiritual and musical enrichment with two mass options: the 12:00 Organ Mass and the 18:00 Guitar Mass Both services are a unique cultural experience in a stunning Gothic setting.
Please note that the masses are sacred, and we kindly ask visitors who wish only to explore the church to visit outside of mass hours. For more concerts at Matthias Church, visit:

For a deeper dive into organ music, the Organ Expedition concert series at the Palace of Arts Budapest offers an engaging exploration of the grand organ.
Enjoy your time in Budapest!
Greetings.
Why is church, castle, library, museum all in one place in this and Prague castle complex? Did Bishop and King work together to run the country?
Hello Rajendra,
Thank you for contacting us.
In Buda Castle, just like in most European castles and royal palaces, originally the castle complex offered everything in one place for the royal family and for the king’s court including bed chambers, reception halls, crafts workshops such as blacksmiths, a chapel or even a church. In later centuries with the development of science and technology from the Renaissance, the Castle district added a pharmacy, a library, a school.
The Bishop played an essential role in the Christian Hungarian kingdom, but the main reason for European castles to have it all in one place was to serve the royal family and their court with all their essential needs, in peaceful times or during sieges.
