Matthias Church

Matthias Church (Matyas Templom) is an exquisite medieval edifice where royal marriages and coronations have taken place. This place is one of the most beautiful historical sites in Hungary.

Matthias Church was erected in the 13th century and has been enlarged and renovated several times since then: each era, style, monarch, and Castle siege has left its imprint on the structure. During the Turkish takeover in 1541, it was even used as a mosque.

It is one of the city's oldest structures and can be seen on the Buda hill, in front of the Fishermen's Bastion, not far from the castle. This holy church, also known as the Church of Our Lady, was built in the florid late Gothic style and has a history of almost 700 years. It has hosted a number of coronations as well as two royal marriages.

The Matthias Church has an ecclesiastical museum above and a crypt in the basement. It is on the UNESCO World Heritage list of Budapest.

Matthias Church frequently holds organ and classical music performances because to its excellent acoustics.
