St Elisabeth Church, Catholic church in District VII, Budapest, Hungary
St Elisabeth Church is a Catholic church in District VII featuring two prominent tall towers that rise above the surroundings. The building occupies a location at Rozak Square with a public park and iron fencing defining the grounds.
Construction began in 1757, establishing an important religious presence in the developing District VII area. The project took several decades to complete, reflecting the scale and ambition of the building effort.
The church serves as a center for Catholic worship and community gatherings in the district. It remains an active place where local residents come together for religious services and celebrations.
The church is accessible by public transportation and visitors can explore both its exterior architecture and interior spaces. It is best to check ahead for opening hours since regular services take place and access may be limited during certain times.
The building was designed by Imre Steindl, the architect who later created the Hungarian Parliament Building. This connection reveals how Steindl's baroque approach shaped two of Budapest's most recognizable structures.
