Saint Roch Church in Szeged, Catholic parish church in Szeged, Hungary.

Saint Roch Church in Szeged is a neo-Gothic Roman Catholic parish church built from 1905 to 1909 to designs by Sándor Aigner, standing along Kossuth Lajos Avenue in the Rókus district. Its symmetrical facade has a small stair, an ornate main entrance with a relief of Christ, Saint Roch and Saint Peter, a large rose window and twin towers. Inside, a main nave is crossed by another nave before the sanctuary; the altarpiece shows Saint Roch tending plague victims, and the baptismal font comes from the earlier church.

A plague chapel dedicated to Saint Roch was built here in 1739 after the 1738 epidemic; a parish followed in 1805. A larger church replaced it in 1829–1833 but was badly damaged by the 1879 flood. The present Neo-Gothic church, designed by Sándor Aigner, was built in 1905–1909 and served temporarily as cathedral of the Csanád diocese after the Treaty of Trianon.

The church honors Saint Roch, the protector invoked during times of plague and disease, showing how local faith responded to health crises. It remains a gathering place where the community gathers for important moments throughout the year.

The church sits in a central location in Szeged and is easily reached by public transportation or on foot from downtown areas. Visitors should check current schedules for services and dress modestly when entering.

Saint Roch was especially revered across Europe during plague outbreaks, making this church a window into how people sought protection through faith during health crises. The choice of this particular saint shows how deeply local concerns shaped the spiritual identity of the city.
