Bodrogolaszi Church, Bodrogolaszi, Hungary

Bodrogolaszi Church with a round-arched apse was built on a hill in the 12th century. Its hole windows justify that besides the religious function, the church was also of strategic importance. The church was originally designated for the Walloons, immigrants occupied with vine-culture in the Tokaj-Hegyalja region. The church was reconstructed several times: in the end of the 18th century, in the second half of the 19th century and the end of the 1970s. The latter was the biggest reconstruction, when the building gained its finals shape.

Thank you for the guarantor entry to the balcony of the tower Samuel! ? To get the key, you can ask the wine shop on the street opposite the tower ... in front of the market.

Nice little Árpádian church next to Bodrog.

Nice, uniform 12th-century building - with remnants of architectural decoration in places - in the wedge part of the village on the banks of the Bodrog.

A place for camping by the river. Benches and a place for bonfires. Peace and quiet. Always an angler.

At the bank of the river bank, the parish church of the former Walloon settlement, the parish church raised in honor of St. Nicholas, stands out over the leader of the Bodrog Center, which has been used for centuries. The settlement was first mentioned in 1244, when IV, Béla installed Italian vineyards here, but it is mentioned in the church in 1201. The bell in the tower was poured in 1904. The caretaker of the church is very willing, its contact with the church can be found.

Visby Cathedral

Visby Cathedral (also known as St. Mary’s Church) is the only survived medieval church in Visby. It was originally built for German merchants and inaugurated in 1225. Around the year 1350 the church was enlarged and converted into a basilica. The two-storey magazine was also added then above the nave as a warehouse for merchants.

Following the Reformation, the church was transformed into a parish church for the town of Visby. All other churches were abandoned. Shortly after the Reformation, in 1572, Gotland was made into its own Diocese, and the church designated its cathedral.

There is not much left of the original interior. The font is made of local red marble in the 13th century. The pulpit was made in Lübeck in 1684. There are 400 graves under the church floor.
