Saint Anne Cathedral, Debrecen, Minor basilica and cathedral in Debrecen, Hungary
Description
Saint Anne Cathedral in Debrecen is a church building with two prominent towers reaching about 45 meters high and a limestone facade with detailed stone carvings. The carved ornaments were executed by the Carlone family from Milan and give the structure its baroque character.
History
A Hungarian cardinal commissioned the construction, which began in 1721 and involved an Italian architect in its design. After about 25 years of work, the project was completed and officially dedicated in 1746.
Culture
The facade displays three statues representing important religious figures that shape how people in the city connect with this place. These sculptures are part of the visual identity of the area and are noticed by both visitors and residents.
Practical
The building is accessible daily from early morning until evening and is centrally located in the city. Visitors should know that it functions as an active place of worship, so services or religious events may affect visiting times.
Did you know?
The building houses a certified replica of a significant religious cloth that was installed in 2011. This addition makes it a notable destination for people interested in viewing authenticated religious artifacts.
