Kobanya (Quarry) Attractions

Kobánya (Quarry) forms District X of Budapest. Its name indicates that, until late into the last century, building stone was quarried here. In the lengthy tunnels various beers are now stored and mushrooms grown.

In the center of Kobánya stands the Church of St Ladislaus (Szent László-templom), which was designed by Ödön Lechner and built at the turn of the century. The architecture combines elements of Neo-Gothic and Secessionist styles. There is some fine Zsolnay ceramic work to be seen on the altars and pulpit.
