Other reviewers have pointed out that this is a beautiful church but not as remarkable, architecturally, as others in Budapest. But it is, historically, the coronation church of the Hungarian kings; this is what makes it remarkable. Having read about the last Habsburg coronation, in 1916, in Miklos Banffy's "The Phoenix Land", I went there hoping to see some tangible... more

The church is undergoing major reconstruction, repairing damage, incurred during WW2, to the bell tower. The parts open to visitors are well worth 800HUF, the atmosphere is pleasant (ignoring the drill & hammer noises). more
