Saint Anthony of Padua Parish Church

Saint Anthony of Padua Parish Church is a Catholic parish building with a footprint of roughly 1,620 square meters (17,400 square feet) and a tower reaching 58 meters (190 feet) high in the Zugló district. The tower contains four bells and the nave accommodates approximately 550 seated and 120 standing visitors.

Construction of the current building started in 1941 under architect Gyula Rimanóczy and Cardinal József Mindszenty consecrated it in 1946. The consecration marked a significant moment for the Catholic community in the district following World War Two.

The interior walls display extensive frescoes painted by artist Béla Kontuly that depict moments from Saint Anthony's life story. These painted scenes shape how visitors experience the sanctuary and create visual narratives throughout the space.

The interior provides seating for about 550 visitors and standing room for about 120, which matters for larger services or events. Regular masses are held throughout the year, with special celebrations taking place on June 13 to honor Saint Anthony's feast day.

The church tower was completed in 2014 and houses a music rehearsal room and a museum displaying artifacts from the construction period on its second floor. These spaces allow visitors to learn about how the building was created.
