Our Lady of Hungary church in Keszthely

The church building features walls constructed of crushed stone with carved stone blocks used for edges and specific architectural elements throughout the structure.

István Laczkfy commissioned the construction of this church in 1386, as documented by an inscription found on the triumphal arch within the building.

The church contains a series of frescoes in the chancel, created by multiple artists from a workshop before the building's dedication in the 1380s.

During the Ottoman Empire period around 1550, the church received fortification improvements under the direction of Italian engineer Giulio Turco.

The building underwent transformation in 1878 when its small wooden spire was replaced with a 60-meter steeple incorporating a rose window from the facade.
