Queen of the Rosary Church, Gothic Revival parish church in Zugló, Hungary
The Queen of the Rosary Church is a Gothic Revival parish church in Zugló featuring a soaring vertical structure and spacious interior dimensions. The building combines Gothic Revival design language with modern construction materials such as reinforced concrete and brick.
The church was completed in 1915 by architect Antal Hofhauser, demonstrating the shift from traditional to modern construction techniques in Budapest. It emerged during an era when reinforced concrete was increasingly adopted for religious structures.
The church serves as a spiritual center for the Zugló community and draws those seeking traditional liturgical practices. Its presence shapes the neighborhood's religious life and daily rhythm.
The building is accessible from outside at any time and offers good views of the Gothic Revival architecture from various angles around the church. For visiting the interior, guests should check opening times in advance, as these may vary depending on services and events.
The building was among the first church projects in Budapest to extensively use reinforced concrete instead of classical stone structures. This choice enabled the characteristic vertical slenderness that distinguishes it from older Gothic Revival churches.
