Carmelite church in Győr, Baroque parish church in Győr, Hungary
The Carmelite church in Győr is a parish church with an Italian-style Baroque facade and elliptical domed nave. The interior features a square sanctuary positioned behind the entrance area, with Italian architectural details throughout.
The building was designed and supervised between 1721 and 1725 by lay brother Athanasius Wittwer for the Carmelite Order. This construction period marked an important phase in the religious architecture of the city during the Baroque era.
The Loreto chapel displays a statue of Black Mary from 1717, and Mario Altomonte created the main altarpiece inside. Visitors today see how the community continues to venerate these artworks during daily worship and prayer.
The church opens daily in two time windows: mornings from 6 AM to 12 PM and afternoons from 3 PM to 6 PM. Plan your visit within these hours for viewing or quiet reflection.
The building blends Italian Baroque traditions with local Hungarian religious architectural features from the 18th century. This fusion reflects how Győr stood at a crossroads between Western and Eastern influences during this period.
