Gellért Hill Cave, Catholic cave church in Gellert Hill, Hungary.
Located within a natural cave system, the church features concrete walls, religious artifacts, and a dedicated altar space for regular services.
The cave transformed into a church in the 1920s by Pauline monks, was sealed with concrete in 1951 during Communist rule until 1989.
The church displays a replica of the Black Madonna of Czestochowa, connecting Hungarian religious practices with broader Catholic traditions.
The church maintains specific visiting hours, requires modest dress code for visitors, and provides shawls for women with uncovered shoulders.
The interior contains a room where all decorations were carved from hardwood by a single devoted member of the Pauline Order.
