The classicist style Calvinist (Reformed) church on the Kálvin Square

The church was designed by József Hofrichter and built between 1816-1830, its columned portico and the spire is from the mid 19th century.

The Calvinist (Reformed) church on the Kálvin Square from outside seems to be a conventional Christian church, a single-nave, single-towered neoclassical style religious building. The curiosity lies in among others that initially it should have been built with two towers, and the foundations of the towers were already completed. These are still in the ground and they hold together with the final single tower. The church was built by the plans of József Hofrichter between 1816-1830. After the great river flood of 1838 it required a restoration, then the columned porch with the triangular tympanum (portico) was built in 1848, designed by József Hild. The present spire (cap) on the tower was designed by János Buchold and it was constructed in 1859.
