What it is

The Catholic church of Nagymaros already appears in a document of 1324. It was Gothic and has been rebuilt several times, but its tower is, according to the town council, the only medieval ecclesiastical monument still standing on the Danube Bend. Set into the north wall is a Roman relief with vine leaves, and inside is the lime-wood Patrona Hungariae that Béla Ohmann carved in 1938, 2.83 m tall.
