Szentendre - Belgrade Church

(Local Name: Görög-keleti székesegyház) The most elegant of the seven Baroque churches in Szentendre is the one north of the castle hill, the Episcopal Church consecrated in 1764 (Görög-keleti székesegyház; known as the "Belgrade" church), recognizable by its red and yellow façade. A wrought-iron gate (1771/72) from the workshop of the local artistic locksmith Márton Ginesser leads into the church garden. As with the Blagovescenska church on Fo tér the nave wall on the entrance side merges with the soaring tower to make it vertically dynamic. The most imposing part is the gilded iconostasis carved from limewood.
