Place of worship

Greek merchant families paid for this twin-towered church by the Danube, finished in 1801 to plans by József Jung. Miklós Ybl later designed the spires. Inside is a large carved iconostasis by a woodcarver from Eger.

Good to know

  • Look up: one tower is missing. It was hit in the Second World War and only its base was rebuilt.
  • Services are in Hungarian, Greek and Old Church Slavonic.
  • It sits right on the riverside promenade, a few steps from the Elisabeth Bridge.
