Kostol sv. Ladislava Hurbanovo
The town of Hurbanovo lies in the warmest region of the Podunajská nížina lowland. It is located in the central part of the Komárno district, which is the southernmost district of the Nitra region. In the center of this town, there is a significant sacred monument, the Kostol svätého Ladislava church. It is accessible to all believers during regular religious services. You can also visit it during the summer holidays, when it is open to visitors in the morning hours.
The Kostol sv. Ladislava church in Hurbanovo is one of the town's dominant buildings. Its origins date back to the first third of the 20th century. In 1911, a fire broke out in the town, burning down the church along with the rectory building. On the site where an old Baroque sacred building once stood, a new church was built in the Art Nouveau style between 1912 and 1913.
When visiting this parish single-nave church, you can notice a core inspired by Transylvanian Gothic architecture. The church's floor plan forms an octagon with four arms. Imagine the shape of a cross, with one arm extended. You will also be captivated by the interior space of the temple. In it, you can notice the contrast of white perimeter walls with the dark color tone of the dome. The choir lofts are separated by a carved wooden railing with Hungarian and Transylvanian folk motifs. These same motifs can also be found on the pulpit. You can also admire the painting of the Brno Madonna, restored paintings, and a beautiful altar.
The author of this monumental building is the renowned Hungarian architect István Medgyaszay. He became famous mainly for using a new material in the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary, reinforced concrete. The church tower reaches a height of 48 meters and is connected to the church by a wooden marquee. On its facade, you will find a clock face.
