Gyöngyös - St Bartholomew's Church

(Local Name: Szent Bertalan templom) The 14th C St Bartholomew's Church (Szent Bertalan templom), one of the largest Gothic churches in Hungary, was rebuilt first in the Renaissance style and later, following a fire in the early 18th C, in the Baroque by Giovanni Battista Carlone, whose major work was done in Eger. The towers are early 19th C. A large number of 15th C sacral masterpieces are kept in the Treasury. Near the church, on Fo tér, stands a modern sculpture by Pál Ko (born 1941) of King Charles Robert of Anjou, who reigned in the early 14th century.
