St. Anne's Church

St. Anne's Church sits at St. Anna Square with a distinctive red roof and walls displaying late Baroque design combined with Neoclassical touches. The building features both exterior details and interior decorative elements that reflect this architectural blend.

Construction of the church started in 1816 and was completed when it was consecrated 7 years later. Upon its dedication in 1823, it became the first building in the city to display a public clock for citizens to see.

The cemetery here serves as a burial ground for various figures from Hungarian artistic and cultural life, reflecting the importance of this place in the local community. Walking through the grounds, visitors can find graves of painters' relatives and theater figures from different periods.

The church is open to visitors throughout the week and holds regular services that follow different schedules depending on the time of year. Anyone planning a visit should check ahead to confirm timings, as they change between warmer and cooler months.

From 1897 to 1905, this building served as the endpoint of the city's first tram line, making it a key point in early urban transport. Its location helped connect the church to the expanding street network of that era.
