Abstract
Summary The paper is a brief account about archaeological investigations and excavations from the mid 1960s on in the territory of the Provostry Church which was founded by King St. Stephan in the early 11th century. The new excavations contributed a lot to the knowledge of the Romanesque form of the West part of the Church which could be only partially investigated. Its form and even its construction in St Stephen's times is uncertain. Only the fact is proved that there was an early building on the West of the Church, which was already altered as early as the 12th century. South of the Church, elements of Gothic butressing system were revealed: fundations, corresponding to the 14th century nave vaults as well as piles belonging to the foundations of Gothic nave piers. The excavation of an eastern chapel opening from the South aisle is not yet finished. South of the Church the investigation of the North wing of a cloister belonging to the monastery and existing in the 12th-14th centuries, together with burials, was begun.
