Votive Church of Szeged

Constructed between 1914 and 1930, this Catholic church stands in Szeged, Hungary, as a testament to the city's resilience after the catastrophic flood of 1879.

This church was pledged after the flood’s devastation and features elaborate brown-brick architecture, twin towers, and significant cultural elements. Inside, visitors can marvel at its gigantic organ with over 9000 pipes and the fresco-covered cupola. In 2016, an exhibition center opened in the crypt, displaying historical artifacts and offering tower climbs.
