This part of Győr is not at all known by tourists, a real "off the beaten path". Mostly those tourists who come by train or by bus, head their way directly to the city centre from the City hall. I made a deviations to the left from this street to west-northwest because I knew that also this part of the city was quite interesting. I loved this view of the Rába river and the church towers of this part of Győr. As I wrote on the Győr home page, there are several brigdes that connect the separated quarters and I used some of them to pass through the river.

However, you must be able to speak the language to really know what's happening.
Otherwise, it's just sightseeing. Leave a Comment Website: none

I found this little baroque church accidentally. It`s quite close to the Kossuth Lajos street and the previously mentioned churches and I saw it`s tower from the street.
It`s located in a nice square, wich is maybe more a park than a regular square.
This part of the city is called újváros, (new city) in english, nevertheless most of the buildings aren`t new: those were built in the XIX.th century, so it desen`t look like very new.
According to the script I saw on the church wall, this church was consacrated in 1712.

I was lucky to find this church open because there were a holy mass on wich only some old ladies partecipated (It was about 8.45 A.M. and weekday). I shot some photos than I realized that the function was finishing so I expected everyone come out and before the church was shut down, I managed to take some pics. One of the ladies told me that the church has 2 nice side chapels as well. I liked the lovely wooden altars, the coloured windows and the ceiling fresco wich didn`t seem to me very old, but it`s beyond doubt a good work.
And now let`s go back to the Things to do tips------>

In Hungary you cannot find any village/town/city that has no Kossuth Lajos street (like Freddy Kruger said "there is an Elm street in every town>;-) ). Also Győr has one. It starts at the neo-gothic church and you find there two further churches among wich the first one (the yellow late baroque-classical) has a fantastic internal.
Altough in the fifth photo it seems itwas open, unfortunaltley there was an iron fence that imeded me to enter. I had been inside before and it`s a pity I cannot show some images about it. Further more I had no time to visit also the other church (the far one in white colour).

This charming neo-gothic protestant church is very close to the Rába river and the double Rába bridge, as you can see on the previous tip.
Unfortunately I couldn`t enter to see the internal, but maybe you will more fortunate....:)
