Medieval Arpadian age church, Ócsa

The church was originally built in the 13th century by the Premontre Order for use as a monastery.
During the 16th century the church was given to the village for use as a public place of worship.
The Romanesque church of the order of Premontre was rebuilt in early Gothic style in the 13th century. It follows the style of the Hungarian Premontre architecture, and at the same time Lombardian style of the period.
One of the most beautiful Romanesque churches preserved in Hungary it has 3 naves, a cross nave, and two western towers.
The church is interesting not only for its architecture, but for the murals of Saint Ladislaus I of Hungary, the Legendary painted on the northern walls.
During the Turkish era it was used as a mosque by the Turkish soldiers from Monday to Friday, but on Saturday and Sunday the Hungarians used it as a Reformed church. Recently it was nicely restored.
The church is surrounded by nicely preserved small traditional houses and structures which give the town center a Medieval look. They recall the life and times of the Hungarian medieval age, including tools, furniture, and other objects of interest.

We are open from March 1 to November 17, 2024, from Friday to Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
