Budapest’s Cave Church
This point of interest is available as audio on the tour: Visit Budapest, Visiting the Queen of the Danube
Budapest’s Cave Church is far from being a traditional place of worship, and definitely worth a visit! Even though it’s small, you’ll be blown away by this Catholic church, built inside a cave. Construction began in 1926, and it was inaugurated in 1931 by the Pauline Fathers, the only religious order founded in Hungary. The modest interior contrasts with the church’s exterior, built into Gellért Hill. If you start climbing up, you’ll see this unique structure carved straight into the rock.
