Miskolc Reformed Church

The walk to Mount Avas southwest of the town center takes the visitor past the Reformed Church on the northern slopes of Kis Avas (Little Avas). Founded in the 13th C, it is the oldest building in Miskolc. Following renovation in 1470-90 it was given the form of a three-storied Gothic church with an ambulatory in the choir. Destroyed by fire, it was rebuilt between 1560 and 1569 as the Church of the Reformed Congregation; the Gothic columns were encased and the vaulted ceiling replaced by a wooden one.
