Viaduct

The most famous object of Biatorbágy is the double viaduct built for carrying the rail way. It became famous by a sad story from 1931, when Matuska Silvester exploded the viaduct when a train passed through the bridge.

Viaduct reminds also the great epoch of Hungarian rail way and bridge building engineering in the end of 19th century.
