University Church

Egyetemi templom (Kisboldogasszony-templom)

Place of worship

Many call it Pest's finest Baroque church. The Paulines, Hungary's only home-grown monastic order, built it from the 1720s on land where an Ottoman-era mosque stood. The main altar shows the Birth of Mary by Antal Lipót Conti, under a copy of the Black Madonna of Częstochowa.

Good to know

  • The first mass was held in 1742; the towers followed in 1768 and 1771.
  • The interior was fully renewed in 2020.
  • It sits one street from the Serbian church, so see both on one short walk.
