Egerszalóki Szűz Mária neve templom

Beautiful outside. And last but not least also visit the cemetery egesrszalóki often (unfortunately, because of the distance less than I would like), because based on my parents, my grandparents are here.

Very nice village built church. Interestingly, the tower is a separate building from the main creator.

It was built in 1738 according to the plans of Giovanni Battista Carlone from Italy. It was expanded in the second half of the 18th century and rebuilt in 1949. The bell tower was erected in 1760.

We could only admire the temple from the outside, because it is only open on certain days. The park around it is a wonderful bell tower. A sensational view of the well-kept park in front of the church. I recommend that whoever goes, take a walk anyway.

Interestingly, the temple tower is separate, I had never seen one before.

Exterior area very nicely tidy.
