Minorite Church Eger

Minorite Church Eger is a Catholic church building in central Eger featuring a baroque facade with two towers connected by a curved arch and a main entrance framed by Corinthian columns. The structure displays the characteristic design elements of baroque architecture throughout.

Construction started in 1758 under architect Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer and was completed in 1792. The lengthy project reflected the ambitious baroque vision planned for the church.

The interior shows detailed frescoes depicting moments from Saint Anthony's life, while the main altar displays Virgin Mary with the Christ Child.

The church stands next to Dobó Square with easy access from the main town areas. Visitors should check if the doors are open, as entry depends on service times and scheduled visiting hours.

The keystone above the main entrance displays a Latin inscription meaning 'For God nothing is enough', a statement embedded in the stone itself. This hidden message reflects the theological thinking of those who commissioned the building.
