Városmajor Church

Városmajor Church, Catholic church in Városmajor, Budapest, Hungary

Városmajor Church is a Catholic parish complex in Budapest's 12th district, on the eastern edge of Városmajor at Csaba Street. It consists of a large church, a small church built in 1923, and a bell tower, linked by reinforced-concrete arcades. The large church is a three-nave hall with travertine cladding, a flat roof, and a main façade of intersecting vertical and horizontal blocks.

Aladár Árkay began the plans in 1927/1928; after his death in 1932 his son Bertalan completed them. The foundation stone was laid in June 1932, and Cardinal Jusztinián Serédi consecrated the church on 4 June 1933, before the stone cladding and some decoration were finished. The bell tower and the arcades linking it to the 1923 small church followed in 1936; the tower was set apart from the main block to avoid the vaulted Ördög-árok stream beneath.

The church's name refers to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, depicted in the five tall windows of the sanctuary made by Lili Sztehlo Árkayné. The side chapels and the passage between them hold a Stations of the Cross in bronze reliefs by Götz János, and statues of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux and Saint Anthony of Padua. The small church, built in 1923, now serves as a community house.

The complex sits at the Csaba Street edge of Városmajor in District XII, with the bell tower set apart from the main church because of the vaulted Ördög-árok stream bed beneath. The tower's four bells ring daily at 6am, noon, 6pm and 9pm. The main façade faces Csaba Street; the small church serves as a community house.

During World War II, a bomb impact left a mark on the church wall that appears to outline the Virgin Mary. This damage remains visible on the facade today and serves as a reminder of the building's history.
