Saint Augustinus Church

Saint Augustinus Church, Baroque Catholic church in Pécs, Hungary

Saint Augustinus Church is a single-nave Baroque church in Pécs, rebuilt in 1912 in eclectic style, with a 28-meter tower above the entrance. Its 18th-century altar and paintings from the 1930s by Gebauer Ernő, Gádor Emil and Szelle Stefán Henrik fill the interior. Horseshoe-arched window fragments from the former mosque remain in the southern wall.

Excavations in 1999 and 2009 uncovered a 12th-century cemetery and the medieval Szent Miklós church east of the present building. That church, likely built in the 1130s and given to the Augustinians in the 13th century, was replaced in the 14th century by a Gothic church with a flat-ceilinged nave and vaulted choir. The Turks used it as a mosque, then demolished it after 1620; its stones built the mosque from which the current church was erected after Augustinian Recollects arrived in 1710. The church was completed in 1712, burned in 1750, and was remodeled in eclectic style in 1912.

The tower clock has played a musical piece set to a miners' rhythm since September 2004, a nod to Pécs's mining past. Sculptures of Saint Paul and John of Nepomuk are worth spotting. The high altar dates from the 18th century, while most paintings were made in the 1930s by Gebauer Ernő, Gádor Emil and Szelle Stefán Henrik.

The church stands in central Pécs, with its entrance below the 28-metre tower. The ruins of the medieval Szent Miklós church, excavated east of the present building, can be visited freely. The tower clock has played a melody in mining rhythm since September 2004.

Since September 2004 the tower clock has played a musical piece written to a mining rhythm, audible from the 28-meter tower. The tower holds three bells: the largest cast in 1828, the middle and passing bells in 1929. The 1889 Angster organ remains in use.
