Budakeszi Roman Catholic Parish

Small but beautifully maintained, but in front of the building were gravel hills (wedding). There was a stew on the meadow nearby, everything heard, and the smell of smoke

I ran into a German mass by accident, but everything is projected, there are also small books on the benches, so it shouldn’t be a problem to follow the ceremony.

This beautiful Baroque church was built on the site of the Church of Mary, built in the 1600s, which was built on the ruins of a medieval church. Today's church was built between 1761 and 1766, in Baroque style, and Miklós Zichy and Erzsébet Berényi contributed greatly to its construction costs. The church was consecrated on September 9, 1781. The church has four bells. Two were consecrated in 1713. One of the other two is called Sindglöckl, the other Totenglocke. The first is from 1767, the second from 1768. The church has a central tower facade with four wall columns. In the tower there is a clock, which was first mentioned in 1838, at the top of the tower there is a cross-sphere, above it a gilded cross, made by Xaver Pfendtner, a blacksmith from Budakeszi. The interior of the church is uniform in style. The building is a three-section ship with a proportionate layout, closed by a Czech glass vault. The sanctuary is narrower than the nave, separated from the sacristy and the nave by a few steps. There are pillared columns at the corners of the sanctuary, which hold the dome vault, on which Falconer’s fresco shows a perspective building detail with four allegorical figures. In the altarpiece we can see a marble altar, on two sides the figures of St. Peter and St. Paul. There are station pictures on the wall of the church in a uniform frame, the pictures are from the 18th century. century, but do not belong to the original furnishings of the church. On the northeast side of the triumphal arch, the designers placed the pulpit, which is also made of wood, painted gray and red marble. Beneath the pulpit is a stone-carved Rococo-style baptismal font. In the ship, the rows of benches are crossed by roads in a cross shape. The benches were made of glazed softwood. The organ, which can still be heard today, dates back to the 20th century. It was built at the beginning of the 19th century. Two major changes have taken place since its construction. The first was the removal of tin facade whistles during World War I, and the second in the 1980s, when it was converted to an electropneumatic structure and equipped with a new play table.

This is a good little church !!!
