On the eastern slope of Óvár, Greek Orthodox hermits hollowed out their cells, a chapel and a dining room from the rocks in the 11th-14th century following the eastern laura system. This is the only relatively well-preserved hermit colony in the Carpathian Basin and even in Central Europe. Its local name is the Monk Houses (Barátlakások). Not far from here is the only spring of Tihany, the Ciprian Spring, previously called the Russian Well.
