Saint Ladislaus Roman Catholic Church

Saint Ladislaus Roman Catholic Church is the landmark church of Kőbánya, built in 1899 to designs by Ödön Lechner. Its tall bell tower, patterned roof, and Eclectic-Art Nouveau details make it one of the more distinctive churches outside Budapest's central tourist circuit.

The roof uses colourful Zsolnay ceramic tiles, a favourite material of Hungarian Secession architecture. It is worth a look if you are exploring eastern Budapest or have an interest in Lechner's work.
