Our Lady of Hungary Church, Rákospalota

Our Lady of Hungary Church, Rákospalota, Catholic parish church in Rákospalota, Hungary

Our Lady of Hungary Church is a Roman Catholic parish church on Széchenyi Square in Rákospalota, Budapest District XV. Built from 1897 to 1909 to plans by architect Ernő Balassa, it has an interior height of 20 m and a central tower reaching 70 m. The frescoes were painted by Lajos Linek, the sculpture work is by Kálmán Frank, and the altars, pulpit and confessionals were made by Lajos Komáromy.

A parish was formed in Rákospalota in 1884 under Imre Beller, who funded a church building committee in 1889. Architect Ernő Balassa's plans were approved in 1896 and the foundation stone laid on 10 December that year; the church and altar were consecrated in 1900. The building was completed by 1909, and the interior frescoes by Ádám Rezső were finished in 1927.

The church serves as a spiritual center for the local Catholic community and remains deeply rooted in the neighborhood's religious life. People gather here for services and celebrations that mark the rhythm of community life throughout the year.

The church is located centrally in the neighborhood and is easily accessible to residents and visitors exploring the area. Those wanting to enter should plan their visit around service times when the building is typically open to the public.

The church's crypt was converted into a columbarium in 1996, providing a place for urn burials. Since 1927, the parish has also included the Szentháromság-templom on Kossuth utca, a church existing since the Árpád era and rebuilt several times.
