Church of St Anne (Szent Anna templom) is a beautiful baroque church that was started to built in 1740 by the Jesuit Order but was completed in 1805, 32 years after the abolition of Jesuit order!
The beautiful façade is dominated by two symmetric towers and between them the symbol of Holy Trinity and two angels.

We got inside and realized that the church was packed with locals as the mass was in progress. The interior is in baroque style with beautiful ceiling frescoes, the one over the high altar shows Holy Trinity and dates from 1771 while the central one is from early 20th century. Unfortunately we couldn’t walk much closer to check the high altar.

It has a very fine pipe organ which is often used for recitals. In addition, if you go to a Sunday mass, you will hear a fine cantor and splendid organ music as well.
