Church of St. Emeric and Calvary

Description

The only protected monument in the town was built in the 18th century in Baroque style. The church was built in 1701 and was dedicated to Saint Emeric.

It was commissioned by Ágoston Keresztély. Originally it had only one main nave and a low tower. Archbishop János Simor expanded and renovated the church; it received two side naves and two side altars were also relocated here.

When visiting the interior, noteworthy are the precious paintings on the main and side altars, the late Baroque pulpit with paintings of the four evangelists on the parapet from 1760, and the Rococo organ case from 1790. The furnishings of the church are original.

Above the main altar is a painting of the church’s patron, St. Emeric. On the side altars are paintings of Our Lady of Sorrows and the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The choir was built of stone. The church was originally a filial church of the parish.

Calvary

Next to the church stands a Baroque calvary from 1766 with a statue of St. John of Nepomuk, which is also a protected monument. The statue is a folk stonemasonry work and dates from 1807.
