Matthias Church


Matthias Church is located in the center of Szentháromság tér (Holy Trinity Square) in Budapest.

Although it is commonly called by the name of Mattia Corvino, the real name of the church is Our Lady of the Assumption of the Castle Hill and is dedicated to the Madonna.

It was built between 1255 and 1269 by the will of King Béla IV of Hungary. In 1541 it was transformed into a mosque by the Turks, and then passed to the Jesuits.

In 1873 and 1896 it was the subject of restorations by the architect Frigyes Schulek who partially rebuilt it in neo-Gothic style.

It is one of the most interesting buildings in the city of Budapest and the city's artistic and tourist heritage.
