Saint Adrian – Year of Millenium (1019-2019)
For the 1000th anniversary of the consecration of the St. Adrian Basilica in 2019 a millennial celebration is organized, the aim of which is to preserve the Benedictine and national heritage of Zalavár and Zalaapáti.
On 18 May 2017 a conference was organized to preserve the Benedictine and national heritage of Zalavár and Zalaapáti. Kint St. Stephen founded anew the Benedictine monastery at Zalavár in 1019 which stood until 1702 at Zalavár-Vársziget. The rebuilding of the demolished monastery did not happen and after the expulsion of the Ottomans the Benedictines rebuilt their new monastery at Zalaapáti, which carried on the heritage in name (Zalavári – St. Adrian).

Asztrik Várszegi, titular bishop and the archabbot of the Pannonhalma Benedictine Monastery after the greetings of Ildikó Horváth, the mayor of Zalavár. Imre Pácsonyi, Deputy Head of the Zala County Council talked about the possible developmental plans of the future and problems to be solved. He stressed that the next aim is to reach the certificate for “Memorial Site of Historical Significance”.
