Sopron - Evangelical Church

The Late Baroque church in the middle of Templom utca was built in 1782/83, the 52m (171ft) high tower in 1862/63; originally it only had one roof turret as prescribed by the tolerance edict of 1781. Of particular interest in this triple-naved church with two-storied galleries is the high gilded altar dated 1730 decorated with statues, which was brought to Sopron from Kahlenberg near Vienna. The pulpit and pews are from 1780; the elaborately carved and decorated offertory box is from the 17th C. The melodic sound of the organ features regularly in concerts.
