Belvárosi plébánia - Belvárosi plébánia

Beautiful.

Seta downtown on the way to the Calvary Kilatoba

Rather, it is just a view from near the church that dominates the space.

Once again we spent a couple of great hours here, you can see that the place is suitable for even such profane programs as an HH dance rehearsal. :) (And as a bonus, there was even a parking space in front of the building!)

Its predecessor burned down in the fire of 1794. The material needed for the new Catholic church was created by the county council, the county, and the estate. The money slowly collected, but Emperor Francis himself gave 26,000 forints to the personal intercession of the parish priest György Szluha. As a result of Sluha's perseverance, they were able to build a church that was much larger than the typical, typical buildings of the time, giving a unique impression. In the intervening period, services were held in the chapels of St. John and Paul and then in a temporary plank church. The new church was designed by József Tallher (1730? -1807 according to another script), who already had two buildings in Szekszárd, the silk spinning mill built in 1785 and the hospital built in 1802 (none of which are now). The old master designed the church - in a somewhat belated way, probably yielding to local tastes - with a single-tower Baroque façade, but its strict outline already reveals some classicizing propensity. The side facades of the huge church are already much more original: the middle part, with stepped jumps, protrudes from the church body almost like a dome and widens. Thanks to this clever solution, the huge ship doesn’t look depressing from the side. The church was built between 1802 and 1805 by local architect Schmidt Wenceslas. Its foundation stone was laid on May 27, 1802, the roof was replaced in 1803, and in 1804 the copper plates covering the tower were installed. The next year was still full of internal work. It was first restored in the 1880s under the leadership of Ede Graitz. A photograph of the results of this has survived, so we know that since then the interior of the church has been greatly remodeled at several points. In 1925, the roof structure and tower of the church burned down. On October 24, three digged children crawled up to the attic during the morning mass to roast bats (According to other sources, the children wanted to smoke pigeons living in the tower. [1]). The roof caught fire, the tower caught fire, and the only bell left in the war was destroyed. Fire and extinguishing damaged several murals, so it was renovated in 1928, and some of its paintings were replaced with new ones. The works were led by István Groh, a teacher of applied arts, and László Diczenty, a local master builder. It was then that the tower received its present helmet, for the plans of which Oszkár Jászay, a Pest engineer, took the Franciscan church in Pest as a model. To help with the restoration, 200,000 postcards were printed about the condition of the church before it burned down, and 80,000 of that could be sold. After that, the church was close to its current state. The last external and internal restoration was between 1983 and 1992. The murals were painted by dr. It was restored by Zoltán Szabó and Kálmán Nagy. In 1998 the marble floor of the church was renovated. A plaque on the wall of the church proclaims: "The exterior and interior renovation of the church began in 1983 and was completed in 1992, on the 800th anniversary of the consecration of St. László, the patron saint of the city of Szekszárd."

It is located opposite the church, next to the Mayor's Office. It is the oldest building in Béla Square and is under monument protection. The gate of the huge beech tree is original, although the baroque building once burned down. Next to the entrance is the oldest public bench in the city, which is also the only red marble bench in Szekszárd.
