Basilica of Our Lady of Assumption, Mátraverebély-Szentkút, Catholic minor basilica and national shrine in Mátraverebély, Hungary

The Basilica of Our Lady of Assumption is a two-towered Baroque church with onion domes, built between 1758 and 1763 with support from the Almásy family. Above the entrance are the coats of arms of the Vereb and Almásy families. Inside, a statue of the Virgin Mary is venerated, and ceiling frescoes depict Saint Ladislaus causing water to spring, the Assumption of Mary, and Mary healing a mute shepherd boy.

Hermit Antal Balogh began building a church at the spring a mute boy was said to have found; the Almásy family funded the Baroque church erected between 1758 and 1763. Pope Clement XI had healings at Szentkút examined in 1700 and accepted their authenticity, and the site was already a pilgrimage place from 1710. Pope Paul VI raised it to minor basilica in 1970, and Cardinal Péter Erdő declared it a national shrine in 2006.

The basilica draws visitors from multiple countries and maintains a long tradition of conducting services and prayers in several languages. This practice unites people from Slovakia, Hungary, and beyond at a shared place of worship.

The complex has an information center, gift shop, and marked hiking trails connecting to natural features in the valley. Comfortable shoes are recommended since the terrain is hilly and exploring the grounds requires walking.

The ceiling frescoes show Saint Ladislaus making water spring from the rock, the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, and the Virgin healing a mute shepherd boy. The last scene ties the church to the legend of the mute boy who found the spring.
