Saint Camillus Church of Nádorváros

Hungary, 9024 Győr Kálvária u. 15.

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.

Church of Saint John of Nepomuk

Hungary, 9235 Dunaremete Petőfi utca

The village already had a church in 1600. As the Reformation spread, those who lived here had to convert to the Lutheran faith.

The Danube flooded in 1712 and the church the village had at the time was also destroyed. The church that still stands to this day was built 1812, its walls contain bricks from the previous building as they were re-used during construction.

Jewish Cemetery and Holocaust Memorial

Hungary, 9232 Darnózseli Fő utca

There have been people of the Jewish faith living in Darnózseli since the 1800s. The village worked as a center of sorts as it had a place of worship as well as a cemetery. The church, which was located on Fő (Main) Street, was demolished after 1945. The cemetery was opened in 1883 and was used for burial purposes until 1943. The municipality's young people (the 'New Mirror' Youth Club, the Hungarian Young Communist League's Basic Organization and the Szigetköz Dance Ensemble) put the cemetery in order from 1984-1985 and have been maintaining it ever since. Apart from this, a memorial has been erected to pay respects to the memory of the victims of the Darnózseli and Szigetköz deportations.

Saint Joseph's Church

Hungary, 9232 Darnózseli Fő utca 68

Construction of the church began in 1929 according to the plans of Károly Pavlovics. The single-aisle and single-tower church bear Neo-Gothic characteristics. It was consecrated in 1930 by Cardinal Bishop Dr. Jusztinián Serédi. The construction of the funeral chapel's nave was commissioned by Katalin Hédervári Viczai Jánosné, however, it was completed by her son, János Viczai. The 18 m long, 8 m wide single-tower and the single-aisle church was consecrated in 1703. In 1929, the tower and the nave were demolished and only the apsis remained. Then in 1965, the apsis was renovated and the foundation walls of the 17th-century Baroque church were marked emphatically.
