Saint Michael church in Csempeszkopács, Romanesque Catholic church in Csempeszkopács, Hungary

Saint Michael church is a single-nave Romanesque church built of unplastered red brick bound with lime mortar, with a rectangular nave, a narrow semicircular apse to the east and a square bell tower of lighter brick to the west. Its southern portal has a carved gabled stone frame with double Norman tooth ornament, bud and dragon capitals, and a tympanum showing the Lamb of God in a trefoil.

The building was constructed around the year 1250 and reflects the Romanesque tradition of that era. Over subsequent centuries, interior wall paintings were added from the Gothic through Baroque periods, showing how artistic styles evolved over time.

This church remains an active gathering place for the local community, hosting regular religious services and celebrations. It reflects the enduring faith and traditions of people living in this rural part of Vas County.

The interior of the church can be explored to view the old wall paintings at a leisurely pace. It is best to visit when services are held or when the community makes the building accessible to visitors, as it serves primarily as an active place of worship.

The south portal's carved tympanum shows the Lamb of God in a trefoil, framed by double Norman zigzag and dragon motifs; the west jamb ends in a bud capital, the east one in a dragon. Carvers thought to have worked on the St James chapel at Ják are credited with this gate.
