Pilisszentkereszt is a village in Pilis Hills region of Hungary, some 20km from Buda. Queen Gertrude of Merania (d. 1213) is buried in the graveyard of Pilisszentkereszt Abbey [1].
In January 11 1945, at the close of World War II, the village was the site of bitter fighting during Operation Konrad II, an unsuccessful offensive by the SS Wiking Division to relieve German troops occupying Budapest.
