Vác Cathedral, Baroque cathedral in Vác, Hungary

The Cathedral of the Assumption displays white stone walls, twin bell towers, and a central dome that rises above the surrounding buildings in Vác.

Construction of the cathedral began in 1761 under architect Isidore Canevale, marking a significant period of religious architecture development in eighteenth-century Hungary.

The cathedral interior contains numerous religious artworks, including paintings and sculptures that represent both Hungarian and European Catholic artistic traditions.

During World War II, a Soviet bomb struck the cathedral's dome but did not detonate, with a fresco inside commemorating this occurrence.
