Sacred Heart Church, Gothic Revival parish church in Kőszeg, Hungary.

Sacred Heart Church is a Gothic Revival hall church with three naves, a short transept and a polygonal sanctuary, built into the corner where Várkör and the market meet Fő tér. Its 57-metre tower, flanked by two pinnacles, rises above the entrance, and a broken-parapet gallery spans the interior above the door. The ceiling, wall and column painting is the work of Otto Kott.

Construction took place between 1892 and 1894 following designs by Viennese architect Ludwig Schöne on the site of the former Korona Hotel. This building project reflected the town's religious and economic growth during that period.

The stained glass windows were donated by local families and depict Jesus, Mary, Joseph and Hungarian saints including St Stephen, Blessed Gisella, St Emeric, St Ladislaus, St Elizabeth and St Margaret. The carved wooden altars were made in Vienna and Tirol. The church also keeps the Bezerédj chasuble, made by Mária Bottka Bezerédj in 1708.

The building sits in a central location within Kőszeg's historical district and is easily reached on foot. Access is generally open to visitors, though you should check when services or special events are taking place.

The tower holds four bells, and the two larger ones are huge by small-town standards. The carillon plays a passage from Handel's oratorio Saul. The tower cross was made by locksmith János Lauringer and gilded with fire gold by József Wilfinger of Kőszeg; it was blessed on 25 April 1893 and raised on 5 May 1893, the 25th anniversary of parish priest Major János.
