Minorite Church Eger

Minorite Church Eger, Catholic church building in central Eger, Hungary.

Minorite Church Eger is a late-baroque Catholic church on Dobó István Square, the second largest in Eger. Its facade curves outward between two 57-metre towers, the only curved baroque facade in Hungary. Corinthian column pairs frame the stepped entrance, and five statues by János Öreg Hössz top the curve, with Saint Anthony holding a lily at the apex. The single nave has a Latin-cross plan.

Franciscans settled in Eger in the 13th century and stayed until the Turkish occupation of 1596. On 8 December 1687 Antonio Caraffa gave their former church, converted into a mosque, to the Minorites. That church was demolished in 1712 after flood damage. The foundation stone of the present church was laid in March 1758 by mason János Falk, and after his death János Nitsmann continued the work, completed in 1767. The church was consecrated on 18 April 1773.

The church is dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua, whose large stone statue from Demjén stands on the curved facade holding a lily. The ceiling frescoes painted by Márton Reindl of Pressburg in 1769–1770 show scenes from the saint's life, and the high altarpiece by Johann Lucas Kracker depicts his vision of the 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.
