Round church in Balatonfüred

The Round Church in Balatonfüred is a religious building with a circular design and neoclassical elements, with windows allowing natural light throughout the interior. The space centers on a prominent altar set within the rounded structure.

The building was completed in 1846 based on a design by architect Mihály Pollack, who drew inspiration from the Roman Pantheon's architectural tradition. Its construction marked a turning point in the town's development as a spa destination on Lake Balaton.

The western wall displays The Crucifixion, a painting from 1891 by János Vaszary that shows local religious artistic traditions. This artwork reflects how artists of the era contributed to the spiritual life of the community.

The building remains an active place of worship that welcomes visitors throughout the year. You get the best view of the interior and its design when visiting during daylight hours with natural light.

The circular design creates exceptional acoustics that make the space ideal for classical music performances and religious ceremonies. This acoustic quality results from the careful planning of the circular floor plan.
