Orthodox church - Miskolc

It is a historic building of outstanding value of the town. It was built in baroque style. Building began in 1785 by the Greek community who had escaped from the Turkish rage in the Balkan during the 17th-18th century. It took 21 years to finish building it.
Its inner decoration, such as the 16 metres tall iconostas made by Jankovich Miklos, its biblical scenes, sacred images and paintings on the columns fascinates the visitor.
The Russian Tsarina Katherine 2nd presented the Mary of Kazan devotional picture, which can be seen in the nave, to the Hungarian Greek Church.
Next to the church there is the Hungarian Orthodox Church Museum, which was opened in 1985. The artefacts of the museum were gathered from nine Hungarian orthodox churches.
