Sights

Reformed Church

Hungary, 9025 Győr Kossuth Lajos utca 9.

The church bears the stylistic elements of late Historicism, its layout features many different separate areas. Its inner space gives a sense of unity and the huge hall is ornamented with simple Gothic style motifs. The lengthwise foundation ends in an octagon of which six sides enclose the apsis.

Golden Sun

The Napház (Sun House) beauty salon's eye-catching trade sign is the work of Győr sculptor Ferenc Lebó. 

Church of the Apotheosis of the Holy Cross

Hungary, 9141 Ikrény Győri út 67

The foundation stone of the Ikrény Church was set on April 5, 1992, and a celebratory outdoor mass was held to honor the occasion. Thanks to the collection organized by Vilmos Czank, parish priest, and the efforts of the community, the Catholic church of Ikrény was finished by mid-1993 and was consecrated on September 25, 1993.

Blackbird's Nest

Hungary, 9022 Győr Liszt Ferenc utca 14.

A blackbird sits in a nest built on the branch of an oak tree on the corner of Liszt Ferenc Street and Saru Lane. On the inner side of the two larger acorns, there are two holes which most likely served to light the blackbird's nest. The trade sign first advertised a grocery and later a restaurant.

Iron Log

Hungary, 9022 Győr Széchenyi tér 4.

The tradition of the Iron Log (Stock im Eisen) comes from German-speaking countries. The main idea is that when a tradesman's apprentice arrives at the city on his guildsman's journey, he strikes a nail into the city's iron log. The Győr Log, however, has a bit of a different story: when Mátyás Zittrisch opened his spice shop and delicatessen named 'To the iron log' in the middle of the 19th century, he had an appropriate trade sign made with nails from a factory.

Fishermen

Hungary, 9022 Győr Apáca utca 3.

This work by Ferenc Lebó once ornamented a fishmonger's on Apáca Street. Today it is not used for its original function, but it fits perfectly into its new surroundings in Hal (Fish) Lane in the historical downtown among the other trade signs upholding the memory of the golden age of crafts and tradesmen.
