Sights

Rosarium

Hungary, 9231 Máriakálnok Kápolna tér

A rose garden in a small town in the Netherlands provided the idea for creating a similar sight in Máriakálnok. Instead of the originally planned twenty flower beds, sixty were planted. Each bed contains a variety of roses including park roses, teas roses, and ramblers, among them some rare species as well. Plaques help out the visitors so that they know which type of rose they are looking at. Apart from the flower beds, the park has walking paths, garden structures, and pergolas, as well as ten meters covered spectacularly in rambling roses.

Hungary, 9174 Dunaszeg Fő utca 17.

In centuries past (1600) Dunaszeg had already had a church. According to tax records from 1658, the church was destroyed this year. In 1720, the Baroness Terézia Viczay commissioned a church to be built in its place. It was originally constructed in Baroque style but has been somewhat remodeled since. In his book, 'Monuments and Memorials in Hungary' István Genthon writes in the chapter on the monuments of Transdanubia: ''a Roman Catholic church with a tower preceding the facade and a sanctum enclosed by three sides of the octagon. A three-arched nave and sanctum. Baroque main altar and pulpit. Built in 1720.''
