Inner City Reformed Church, Miskolc

The Inner City Reformed Church is a building in downtown Miskolc that blends baroque forms, classical details, and historicist design elements together. Located at the intersection of Kossuth Lajos Street and Palóczy Street, it serves as a notable structure in the city center.

Construction began in 1786 and the building went through significant changes over two centuries. Following a fire in the late 1900s, it was completely reconstructed and finished in 1999.

The local community knows this church by the nickname Rooster Church, a name that has stuck among residents for generations. It serves as a spiritual center for the Reformed Christian community in the city.

The church sits in the heart of the city and is easily reached on foot through the main streets downtown. The interior is spacious and welcomes visitors during regular hours and service times throughout the week.

The roof is topped with a striking rooster figure, which is where the building got its nickname from locals. This copper weathervane on the peak is instantly recognizable when looking across the downtown skyline.
