Inner City Parish Church, Catholic parish church in District V, Budapest, Hungary.
The Inner City Parish Church is a place of worship in Budapest's District V that combines Gothic elements like side aisles with strong Baroque features. The structure blends both architectural styles into a unified design that catches the eye as you walk through it.
A major fire destroyed the building in 1723, after which master builder János György Pauer directed its restoration from 1725 to 1739. This rebuilding work gave the church its distinctive Baroque style.
The church preserves an Islamic prayer niche in its southeast wall, a reminder of when the building served as a mosque during the Ottoman occupation. This architectural detail shows how different faiths and cultures once coexisted within the same space.
The church is located near Ferenciek tere metro station on line M3, making it easy to reach by public transport. Visitors can enter daily, and it's best to plan your visit during standard opening hours.
Researchers discovered an intact throne from the Anjou period hidden behind the sanctuary in 2010, originally dedicated to the Virgin Mary. This surprising find revealed that the building still holds hidden treasures from its earlier centuries.
