Protestant Great Church of Debrecen, Reformed Christianity church in Debrecen, Hungary.

The Protestant Great Church features two 61-meter towers, white interior walls, and a main nave stretching 55 meters in length and 15 meters in width.

Construction of the current neoclassical building began in 1805 under architect Mihaly Pechy, following the destruction of previous churches by fires in 1564 and 1802.

Inside the church, visitors can explore the Lajos Kossuth Memorial Exhibition and view Hungary's first printed Bible in the Congregation History Exhibition.

The church accommodates 3,000 seated visitors and includes two organs: an electronic instrument from 1981 and a cabinet organ dating back to 1838.

On April 14, 1848, Lajos Kossuth declared Hungarian independence within these walls, and the chair he sat upon remains displayed in the church.
