An experience in the heart of Eger

In the historic town centre of Eger-where first the market place served as a scene for social life, then, for the course of more than a century, the Tobacco Factory provided the means of living for several hundred families- today it is the Agria Park Shopping Centre, opened in the spring of 2008, that recreates the colourful and bustling character of the market place. The designers and the building contractors were aiming for the building to recall this atmosphere, keeping in mind at the same time, the goal that the shopping centre should be a worthy successor of the buildings of the tobacco factory, standing in its place since 1896. The end result is a combination of the new and the old, a complex of buildings and a park, unique even on a European scale.

A place worth visiting

Agria Park welcomes its customers with air conditioned indoor spaces and shops, which offer several international brand names. While out shopping, visitors to the Agria Park may run their daily errands as well, thanks to the units that offer a wide range of services. There are several entertainment facilities as well: besides the three-screen multiplex cinema, the fitness room of over 600 square metres, and the country’s first plaza library, Agria Park does its best to join local and regional cultural life through a range of events, offering continuous special offers and cultural programmes.

The multi-storey complex is not only a shopping and entertainment facility for its visitors, it also offers an experience. The building, with its modern exterior and functional indoor spaces, provides an excellent environment for both shopping and an active recreation, for smaller and larger groups alike, while inviting the visitors for a walk that awakens bygone times. Upon entering Agria Park, we can admire the spectacular water tower of the former Tobacco Factory, the wrought iron pillars of the former plant grounds, but we can also take a stroll in the park lined with ancient trees, or rest beside the renovated Zsolnay fountain. Furthermore, there is a colourful gastronomic selection to be enjoyed, while the cafés and cake-shops invite us for a pleasant chat.

The Water Tower

The water tower of the Hungarian Royal Tobacco Factory, along with the other buildings of the factory, was built in 1896, and continued to supply water for the factory establishments until 1936. The water came from the springs of the Tagos fields on the Northern slope of the Várhegy, and reached the tower through a cast-iron pipe by means of gravitation.  Feeding the water tank was made possible with a pump in the 27-metre deep well on the market place beside the tower, the operation of the pump and the well-house itself presenting a curiosity in the history of technology. The crystal clear water was also suitable for consumption by the factory workers. The water tower has undergone repair several times, and following privatization, in the course of the general reconstruction of the factory, it was restored according to the original design. 

Zsolnay Ornamental Fountain

The ornamental fountain was completed in 1996 as part of the centenary celebrations of the 100-year old Eger Tobacco Factory, based on the winning designs of sculptor George Kungl. The work of art is covered in a unique weather durable Zsolnay-glazing, and depicts one of the symbols of Eger, the famous water tower of the Tobacco Factory. Its base is embraced by tobacco leaves, while smoke is puffing out at the top. During the construction of the shopping centre, the ornamental fountain was carefully wrapped and saved, and now it is for all to see on its original site, in the ornamental park with ancient trees.

What we pride ourselves on

In 2009, the shopping centre was given the Construction Industry Award of Excellence, one of the honours of the highest rank in the Hungarian construction industry. In the same year, WING Zrt, the company responsible for the development of the building, was given the FIABCI special award for the shopping centre by the Hungarian section of the International Real Estate Federation. Also in 2009, at the CNBC Arabia European Properties Awards, the complex was awarded the title of Shopping Centre of the Year, whereas earlier it was also chosen as best shopping centre in Europe by the CIJ international real estate magazine.
