The catholic church in Százhalombatta is a very special building that combines art, architecture, and spirituality. It was designed by Imre Makovecz, a famous Hungarian architect and founder of the organic architecture movement.
The church was built between 1993 and 1996, and it is one of the most remarkable examples of Makovecz’s style and vision. The building is inspired by the ancient burial mounds that are found in Százhalombatta, which give the town its name (meaning “hundred hills”). The church has a semi-circular shape, with three domes that resemble the mounds. The church is made of wood, stone, and brick, and it has a natural and organic appearance. The church also has a bell tower, a chapel, and a crypt.
The Makovetz templom is especially beautiful during the Christmas season, when it is illuminated by green lights that create a festive and magical atmosphere. The green lights are a tribute to the nature and the life that the church represents, as well as a sign of hope and joy. The green lights are a tradition that started in 2016.
