Pentecostal church, Kőbánya, Former synagogue turned Pentecostal church in Kőbánya, Hungary.
The Pentecostal church in Kőbánya is an octagonal building with a 32-meter-high dome located on Cserkesz Street, combining Art Nouveau elements with Zsolnay pyrogranite decorations. The main hall serves for worship services while an adjacent two-story structure operates as a rehabilitation center for people seeking recovery.
The building was constructed between 1909 and 1912 following architect Richard Schöntheil's design as a synagogue serving the Jewish community until 1964. After that period it served various purposes until its conversion to a Pentecostal church in 1991.
The name 'Temple of Everybody' reflects how the building found a new purpose within the community's religious life after its transformation. Visitors can still observe the architectural features that remember its earlier role while it now serves as a space open to different faiths.
The building welcomes visitors who wish to attend services or explore its architecture. Plan your visit during regular opening hours, keeping in mind that this is an active place of worship and community use.
The original complex included connected facilities such as a rabbi's residence, private school, retirement home, and charitable organization all operating together. These supporting structures created a complete community experience, though many of these elements are no longer visible today.
