University Church (Egyetemi Templom)

University Church (Egyetemi Templom) is certainly the most beautiful baroque church in Budapest! This church was built instead of a turkish mosque, as soon as the turques had to give up Budapest. At the main altar you may see a copy of the “Black Madonna” of Tschenstochau in Poland dating back to the year 1720. The paintings at the ceiling are made by Johann Bergl from Bohemia and the beautiful baroque pulpit was made by an unknown artist. The church is not far from Klothilden-palaces in “Papnövelde utca” take metro #3 to Kálvin tér or Metro #2 till Astoria.
