Homokgödri Small Relic

Hungary, 9174 Dunaszeg Liget utca, 408/1 hrsz.

Its basic elements are similar to those rectangular columns that feature an image on the top portion and end in a tiled roof-like structure, but due to the columns and the roof, it is an independent structure and appears to be more stately. The structure's function is to protect the icon placed in the chamber. In the column's chambers, we can see four different icons depicting the patron saints of the village: Saint Wendelin, Saint Florian, Saint Barbara and Our Lady of the Snows.

Memorial Park

The memorial park originally functioned as a cemetery. The Local Government established the Memorial Park in the place of the cemetery in 2003. A promenade with decorative pavement lined by chestnut trees donated by the American congregation leads from the church to the old memorials and the column erected by the local government. The Stations of the Cross are featured along the way.

Győr-Újváros Church of the Transfiguration of Our Lord

Hungary, 9025 Győr Kossuth Lajos utca 42.

Construction of the Lutheran church designed by Antal Fruhmann, the excellent and renowned architect, began in 1836 in the place where the first known Lutheran church had stood. The construction process lasted 5 years. This place of worship is the second largest church in Győr and is still a leading example of Neoclassicism art history.

Church of Saint Roch and Saint Sebastian

Hungary, 9025 Győr Simor János püspök tere 6.

The fact that the people of the Szigetköz could have their own church built was, apart from providence, thanks to the collection initiated after the plague outbreak of 1707 and the generosity of József Lipp, a wealthy citizen of the city, whose name is remembered in ‘golden letters’ by the congregation to this day. With the permission of the Bishop of Győr and the Archbishop of Esztergom, the foundation stone of the church was put into place in 1710 and in 1712, the bishop János Simor consecrated the church in honor of Saint Roch and Saint Sebastian. The centuries have seen many changes to the Baroque building, for example, it was restored two-hundred years ago, renovated inside and out one-hundred years ago, but the three altars and the pulpit have remained in their original state to this day.
