Arrabona EGTC

The construction of the church was begun in 1770 by Camillian monks under the supervision of architects Filip Rastner von Wallbach and Michael Vogler. The construction process was literally not done yet, as the tower and the living quarters were not yet erected when Joseph II disassembled the order in 1787 despite their dedicated and professional service which was renowned and appreciated throughout Europe. The Emperor handed over the church and its supplementary building to the city of Győr for the purpose of establishing a parish. Above the entrance of the present parish, a marble table commemorates these events. The tower was built from 1835 to 1839, its distinguishing characteristic being that it does not rise out of the facade, but as is usual for monks' churches, it rises from behind the sanctum.

From its tower, the folk song starting with the lyrics 'the wind blows off the old Danube' can be heard every hour and the bells chime at 11 AM and 5 PM.
