Mádi Szentháromság templom - Mádi Szentháromság templom

I liked it

It would be a very nice temple, but a strong renovation would fit

Initially it was a solitary watchtower, to which a smaller church was later built. Today's church was completed in 1653 with the reconstruction of the old church. The works were carried out by József Czirner, a master builder from Levoča. Between 1837-56, the tower was damaged three times by a storm, which became 6-8 meters lower. It has three bells.

Today's Roman Catholic Church was initially a lonely watchtower, and later a smaller church was added. Our present church was completed in 1653. The year of dedication to the temple dates back to 1653, engraved in a stone plaque above the entrance. The temple was dedicated to the Trinity. There is no record of the construction of today's church, so it is likely that the watchtower and the old smaller church were rebuilt to their present form. The conversion work was carried out by the builder József Czirner in Levoča. According to art historian Kornél Dévald: "The shrine and its ship are the remains of a Gothic church of the Árpádian age" in 1606 a bell-making was recorded. In 1662 there were two bells in the tower. They paid for the bell. The belfry and the watchman shared this amount. So by that time it was a tower clock. XIX. In the middle of the 20th century, the temple was repeatedly damaged by the storm. They were forced to rebuild three times between 1837 and 1856, making the tower 6-8 meters lower. In 1890 a fire broke out in this area of ​​the village. Then the roof of the temple burned down, one of the bells cracked. During the reconstruction, the roof was covered with refractory roofing material. At the end of the century, three bells invited the people of the village to pray. In 1914, during the First World War, the middle bell was taken away, and in 1923, the new bell was made from public donations. There were three bells in the Roman Catholic church in Mád then. The larger bell cracked in 1937, but was re-cast for a year. II. however, World War II once again demanded the middle bell. After it was melted, it became weapons. For decades, then, only the two bells rang. The missing middle bell was born in 1998 in our settlement, dr. Anna Vaszily and her husband Béla Novák donated it to Miklós Galambosi in Őrbottyán. The bronze bell weighs 117 kg. In 1968, the church was in need of renovation. During the renovation, a crypt was found underneath the sacristy. This crypt was probably made before the temple was built. In 1990 an internal renovation took place. The floor was covered with granite slabs and heated. In 2000, the roof structure and the tower of the church were renovated. The tower was covered with copper plate
