. High Altar
The sculptures depict
Mary, as a child, being
brought into the Temple
of Jerusalem by St Anne,
her mother. Completed in
1773, it is regarded as one
of the most beautiful
works of Károly Bebó.

Church Pew
The choir pews are decorated with
intricately carved wooden panels, which
feature figurative scenes.

Baptismal Font
Concealed behind a
pillar, this baptismal
font has a carved
pedestal and a simply,
but beautifully,
decorated cover.
Side Altar
This late Baroque altar of
St Francis the Saviour, like
the altar of St Cross on
the opposite side of the
church, is the work of
Antal Eberhardt and
dates from 1768. The
picture in the centre was,
however, executed by
Franz Wagenschön.
