Saint Emeric Paulian Church in Pécs

Saint Emeric Paulian Church in Pécs, Filial church in Pécs, Hungary.

Saint Emeric Paulian Church in Pécs is a three-nave church built in 1936–1937, measuring 40 metres long and 15 metres wide, with a main nave 8 metres wide. Its walls are clad in irregularly patterned local dolomite, and a 26-metre tower is linked to the church by a connecting wing with three arched openings. The interior is divided by two arcaded colonnades, and the sanctuary faces north while the entrance is to the south.

The church was planned after a 1928 urban design competition for central Pécs, won by Endre Dőre, Károly Weichinger and Gyula Kőszeghy, which placed a church on Hunyadi Road. Weichinger was then entrusted with the design and Andor Marsay with construction. The Polish priest Mihály Zembrzuski and his students laid the foundation stone in 1936, and Archbishop Gyula Zichy of Kalocsa consecrated the church in 1937 to Saint Emeric.

The church is dedicated to Saint Emeric, son of King Stephen I, and its annual kermesse is held on 5 November. A copy of the Black Madonna of Częstochowa, brought from Poland by the Pauline monks who returned in 1934, hangs in the small chapel off the right aisle.

The church stands on the southern slope of the Mecsek, at the last bend of Hunyadi utca as it climbs from the city centre. The main entrance faces south, reached by a wide staircase up to a forecourt; the sanctuary lies to the north. The 26-metre tower is linked to the nave by a connecting wing on the west side.

The church holds a copy of the Black Madonna of Częstochowa, brought from Poland by the Pauline monks who returned to Pécs in 1934. It hangs in a small chapel opening off the right aisle, near a statue of Saint Jude Thaddeus.
