Reformed Church - Kiskunhalas

On the north side of Bethlen tér is 'Hosok square' (Heroes' Square), which leads us to the Calvinist Reformed Church, designed by Janos and Frigyes Schwortz and built between 1813 and 1823 in Classicist, late Baroque style.
On its southern facade is a relief commemorating the visit to Halas of poet Mihaly Csokonai Vitez. The 'Sinners' Stone' outside the church recalls the public punishments in practice until 1792 - wrongdoers (for example those who worked on a Sunday, thieves, adulterers, fornicators, liars, blasphemers, or those who injured or abused their fellows) were sat or stood here to endure public shame.
The presbytery was built in 1777. Its garden facade with a veranda and its Classicist gate both date from 1850 and are nowadays protected.
