Franciscan Church, Szolnok, Baroque Catholic church in Szolnok, Hungary.

The Franciscan Church is located in the heart of Szolnok with a white facade, a tall bell tower, and curved architectural features typical of Baroque design. Inside, the building is organized with columns, arches, and decorative elements that define the church's Baroque character and layout.

Ignác Bezdiczky, a salt officer who moved to Szolnok in 1718, had a chapel built for the Franciscans on this site. The nave foundations were laid in 1736, and the Baroque church and monastery were built between 1724 and 1757 to plans by the Eger architect Giovanni Battista Carlone. An earthquake tilted the tower and damaged the sanctuary, forcing major repairs in 1867.

The church is also called Nagytemplom, and its parish feast is held on Trinity Sunday. The baroque pulpit is topped by the Good Shepherd, with the four evangelists below, and the canopy is held by two angels. One of the eleven altars holds a 1737 work by Stefanovits Máté, the first known painter of Szolnok.

Access to the church is through the main entrance, which is open during regular service times. Visitors should wear respectful clothing, and guided tours of the building can be arranged in advance.

The church holds eleven altars; one was painted in 1737 by Stefanovits Máté, the first known painter of Szolnok. The Baroque pulpit canopy is carried by two angels, topped by the Good Shepherd with the four evangelists below. The frescoes date from 1819 and the tabernacle from 1745.
