Church of the Visitation

Very nice little villages at the foot of Mount James. The church could already be renovated.

It was originally a Romanesque church built in the 12th century. The lower part of the sanctuary and perhaps the twin-window tower have survived, and the walls are reinforced with buttresses from the 15th-century Gothic conversion. In 1773 it was radically renewed in Baroque style. Its tower stands in front of the facade. Its sanctuary, which is narrower than a single ship, is semicircular. Its furnishings are Baroque, partly from the Pécs Cathedral.

Church of Our Lady of Sarlós is a monument located in Kővágószőlős in Baranya County, built in Gothic style in the 15th century. century. It is right next to the parish and the cemetery, in a small park. I took a photo in 2006.

Bad memories...

The earliest part of the church in the inner part of the village, the tower dates from the XIII. century. The building was rebuilt in 1512, when the south gate with the year inscription was made, which unfortunately is now known only from a 1721 church visitation record, the stones of which are now lost. This spring also commemorates the larger gate that opens from the base of the tower, the outer murals and stone helmets on the west side of the tower, the narrow wooden-ceilinged nave, and the vaulted Gothic sanctuary. The church and the cemetery around it were surrounded by a stone fence. Within it stood a chapel and an ossuary, and outside the stone house of the parish priest. The Gothic building was demolished only between 1763 and 1772 by the owner of the village, the chair chapter of Pécs, to replace the larger Baroque church that still stands today. The reconstruction is commemorated by the late Gothic stone tablet in the foyer today, in which, in the secondary, in 1772, the building inscription was engraved. At that time, the location of the tower clock was also established, but due to lack of money, it gaped empty for more than two hundred years. Its furnishings were made in the last decades of the 18th century in a braid style. His main altarpiece was painted by Karl Bachmann of Vienna. The pulpit and the confessional came here from 1780 among the furnishings of the Corpus Christi Chapel of the Pécs Cathedral. The wood-carved crucifix on the right side altar is in the II. It was traditionally transferred from a hermitage on Jakab Hill, which was dissolved by Joseph. In 1784, the new late baroque style parish house was also built near the demolished old one. The 10-register organ is made by the Angster company in Pécs, from 1941. The only remaining medieval part of the building, the lower half of the tower, was restored to its original form during a monumental restoration in 1974-79. Since September 8, 2003, at the initiative of the Pécs Mining History Foundation, all mining settlements in the Mecsek coal and uranium basin, from where they once started to work in the mines, have been reminiscent of the 250-year-old Mecsek and uranium mining for more than 40 years.
