Great Lutheran Church, Békéscsaba, Lutheran church in Békéscsaba, Hungary.

The Great Lutheran Church features 20 identical windows across its uniform facade, a 75-meter tower, and an internal height of 27 meters.

The cornerstone was laid in 1807, but construction faced delays due to inflation until work resumed in 1813 with the acquisition of 300,000 bricks.

The church interior contains wooden balconies and designated seating arrangements separating men, women, and youth according to Lutheran traditions.

The building spans 1700 square meters and accommodates 3500 seats, making it the largest Lutheran church in Europe and second-largest Protestant church in Hungary.

The church houses an exceptional organ with 2993 pipes and 36 registers, while the original 3600-kilogram main bell was lost during World War I.
