Detail InformationEdit

The followers of Saint Francis of Assisi, the grey friars were settled in Pápa by the Gara family in the middle of the 15th century. However, in 1559 the Protestant landlord, Ferenc Török removed them, and they only returned 100 years later, in 1660. The then ruling Catholic landlord, Count Ferenc Esterházy had their church built between 1678-1680, which still stands in our days. The church with a nave and four side altars was restored in 1822, but the most significant reconstruction and renewal of its history up to now took place between 1940-1942. The pews, all the sculptures and the altar ornaments that were not from the 17th-18th centuries were replaced, the ceiling frescos were repainted, and the marble face of the walls was renewed as well.The most valuable part of the Neo-Rococo high altar in the chancel is the silver-dressed wooden statue of the Blessed Virgin of Mariazell, just as old as the church. On the Baroque building opposite the church the masterfully manufactured gate showing sunbeams is worth seeing. There is a sculpture of Our Lady in one of its niches, and a sculpture of Christ on the Cross in the other. The building was once called “ispita” as it was a hospice for the old, and it is an elderly home even today. Next to the church, in Kígyó utca (Snake Street) the curved façade and toothed cornice of an old peasant house attracts our attention.
