The Buda Reform Church
stands tall on the bank of the Duna river crowned by a beautiful example of
Zsolnay roof tiles. Often missed by tourists
because of the
Matthias Church on the hillside above, the Buda Reformed Church
is a breathtaking example of Brick Gothic
and 19th century Neogothic architectural styles.
Located at
Szilágyi Dezsõ tér
in a small park next to the main road of Fõ utca,
the church was designed by Samu Pecz (1854-1922)
and consecrated on Palm Sunday in 1896 by bishop Károly Szász (1829-1905).
The church floor plan is based on a pentagonal shape
with buttress supports separated by
high lancet windows around the outside and
gorgeous periodic architectural symmetry lines.
