Goat Church, Sopron, Gothic Catholic church in Sopron, Hungary
The red marble pulpit stands as the central feature in the south aisle, surrounded by pointed arches and ribbed vaults throughout the structure.
Construction of the church began in the late 13th century after a goatherd discovered buried treasure, leading to its current name and architectural design.
The Chapter Hall contains medieval frescoes and stone carvings of animals with human heads, representing the seven deadly sins according to Catholic tradition.
The church welcomes visitors at Templom utca 1 in central Sopron, offering regular religious services and guided tours of its Gothic architecture.
A stone carving inside the church depicts an angel embracing a goat, commemorating the legend of its founding and financing.
