Wooden Church, Reformed Christianity wooden church in Miskolc, Hungary.

The Wooden Church is a Reformed church on Tetemvár hill in Miskolc, built in 1999 as a copy of Bálint Szeghalmi's 1938 design. Its exterior and interior follow Transylvanian and Szatmár folk architecture, with carved wood throughout. The main nave is 8.5 metres wide, and the entrance block is lower than the main roof.

The first church on the site is recorded only by tradition, consecrated on 13 September 1637; the earliest document mentioning a church there dates from 1698. A church built in 1724 stood until 1937, when it was demolished and replaced by Bálint Szeghalmi's design, consecrated on 19 September 1938. An arsonist set fire to that church on 4 December 1997, and an almost identical wooden church, designed by Péter Puskás, was consecrated on 2 May 1999.

The name Deszkatemplom, "plank church", comes from the 117 planks used for the side walls of the 1724 building. The present church keeps Transylvanian and Szatmár folk forms, and its interior holds a memorial tablet reading "UJITT. SZÜLÉI BATÓ ESZTER EMLÉKÉRE 1874", placed by István Bató for his daughter Eszter.

The church stands on Tetemvár hill in Miskolc, and the present building was consecrated on 2 May 1999. It is an active Reformed congregation, so access depends on services and the church office rather than fixed visiting hours; ask locally before planning a look inside.

The poet Lőrinc Szabó's mother is buried in the church cemetery; her funeral moved him to write the poem "A miskolci 'deszkatemplom'-ban", published in 1957 in the cycle Tücsökzene, in the volume Helyzetek és pillanatok.
