Saint Francis of Assisi Church, Szendrő

Saint Francis of Assisi Church, Szendrő, Catholic parish church in Szendrő, Hungary.

Saint Francis of Assisi Church stands alone in a courtyard in Szendrő. Its facade is centred on a tower containing the entrance, flanked symmetrically by two niches holding sculptures of King Stephen I of Hungary and Elizabeth of Hungary. Behind the facade the nave ends in a square apse.

The Franciscans laid the foundations of the monastery church in 1635 under Bishop Imre Lósy of Eger, and the monastery was completed in 1638. Count István Csáky had the church rebuilt and extended from 1741, the new high altar was finished in 1752, and the church was consecrated in 1759. The tower was remodelled by 1765, and the Franciscan order was dissolved in 1789.

The church is named after Saint Francis of Assisi, the founder of the Franciscan order, and the friars ran a theology school here after the convent gained the title of convent in 1671. The Gothic Szendrő monstrance, made in the early 1430s, came from this parish and is now in the permanent exhibition of the Hungarian National Museum.

The church stands alone in a courtyard, with the entrance in the central tower of the facade; sculptures of King Stephen I and Elizabeth of Hungary fill the two flanking niches. The nave ends in a square apse, and the organ, installed in 1881 and modernised in 1960, sits above. The building is a listed historic monument, so access follows parish use rather than fixed visiting hours.

The parish church keeps the Gothic Szendrő monstrance in mind: the original, made in the early 1430s, is held in the permanent exhibition of the Hungarian National Museum as a piece of medieval Hungarian goldsmithing. The church also preserves a late Renaissance stone door frame bearing the Lorántffy coat of arms in the ground-floor side corridor.
