Saint Anne Chapel, Bélapátfalva

Saint Anne Chapel, Bélapátfalva, Catholic chapel in Bélapátfalva, Hungary.

Saint Anne Chapel, also called Gilitka-kápolna, is a Roman Catholic chapel in the Gilitka Stream valley within Bükk National Park, between Bélapátfalva and Szarvaskő in Heves County. It stands near the Gilitka spring along the old road that linked Szarvaskő Castle with Bélapátfalva, on the National Blue Trail. The small chapel was rebuilt in Baroque style in the mid-1700s.

A hermit from Mikófalva, István Baranyi, built the first chapel near the Gilitka spring, on the old road between Szarvaskő Castle and Bélapátfalva, at the spot where Saint Anne was said to have appeared. In the mid-1700s Miklós Androvics, rector of the Eger seminary, had it rebuilt in Baroque style and gave it the title Saint Anne; it has been a pilgrimage site since 1750. The roof was renewed in 1879 under pastor József Zsasskovszky, and after damage in World War II the chapel was restored in 2004–2007 and reconsecrated on 29 July 2007.

The name Gilitka comes from a nickname for Bishop Kilit II of Eger, who founded the Cistercian abbey of Bélháromkút nearby in 1232. Devotion to Saint Anne took root here in the mid-18th century, and until World War II pilgrims from Bélapátfalva, Szarvaskő, Mikófalva, Balaton, Felnémet and Bükkszentmárton walked in organised processions to the chapel on Saint Anne's Day, 26 July.

From Szarvaskő, start at the central car park and follow the National Blue Trail past Szarvaskő Castle; the chapel is about 5,300 m along. From Bélapátfalva, take Telekessy Road to the Telekessy car park, then walk roughly 2,100 m on a forest path, on foot or by bicycle.
