Szombathely - Franciscan Church

East of Köztársaság tér stands the Franciscan church and adjoining monastery. The Baroque church was built in the 17th C from a 14th C Gothic building; a Renaissance doorway (statue of St Elizabeth above it) upgrades the simple front face. Within the Baroque interior of this triple-naved church the picture of St Florian in the left side altar (Dorffmeister 1749), with the town of Szombathely in the background, stands out. Melchior Hefele is interred in the church.
