Round Church

We start our parcours with the first nucleus. The Round Church is a

monument in late classicistic style, with a portico on four columns

with ionic capitals, with entablature, with a religious inscription,

organised as a central hall, above with a cupola. The architect Antal

Fruman from Győr designed it following the model of the Pantheon in

Rome. It was built between 1841-1846, as the plate from the tourism

office from 1961 tells us. The altar image from the right is the work

of Vaszary János (1867-1939). In Balatonfüred there are two other

churches, for the reformed rite (The White Church, in Copf and

classicistic style, from 1830) and catholic (The Red Church), included

in the touristic circuit, the catholic church presenting a red stone

exterior out of sandstone specific for the region and so similar to

the historical villas and the churches in smaller towns, like

Balatonalmádi, a neighbouring locality.

Maria,

I never seen round church. Interesting history. This is neatly framed. Well done.

THe only thing that bothers me is the right edge. Either crop it or clone it.

Please feel free to critique/comment any of my Emmitsburg, DC - Aboreturm photos.
