Assembling a collection of images of Hungary's churches proved to be the simplest
manner in which to explore our homeland. After all, what other type of building can be found
in every community, from the smallest town to the largest city? And what other building's
forms are both strictly defined and yet never the same? What other building overwhelms
the viewer with its awesome towers or its elegant simplicity? It is not only religious
denomination that determines the characteristics of a church, its forms also depend on
the time and place in which it was built. Neither should it be forgotten that a church also
bear the marks of those whose lives are devoted to their upkeep and use. Over our travels,
we walked through many towns and many villages, and we photographed many churches. We agreed
each time, however, that the church formed an integral part of the given urban fabric.
We hope that our website will prove useful to those who are gathering information for
purposes of professional or academic research; and to those who are generally intrigued by
architecture, that it presents an enriching opportunity to further explore their interests.
No less significantly, we hope that our website will inspire our viewers to take initiative
to explore their neighboring areas, towns, villages and especially churches... of which we
welcome new contributions to our photographic collection. |
