In the heart of Debrecen, the Greek Catholic Church on Attila Square presents itself as a luminous expression of faith, art, and history. Consecrated in 1910 and built in the Neo‑Byzantine style from designs by János Bobula, it immediately captures the eye with its elegant form and rich decorative details.

Visitors approaching the church are welcomed by its graceful silhouette: a dome rising above a plan shaped in the Greek cross, punctuated by stained‑glass windows whose colours filter light into a serene interior. At the east‑facing sanctuary, the altar and pulpit—both adorned with intricate mosaic work and marquetry—stand as testaments to craftsmanship and devotion from the church’s earliest days.

Inside, the artistry unfolds: secco wall paintings, created in mid‑twentieth century decades, complement earlier decorative schemes. The iconostasis, separating sanctuary and nave, was officially consecrated in 2010—marking the church’s centenary—with renewed attention to liturgical detail and sacred art. Through its beauty of design and its commitment to worship, the building offers places for quiet prayer, for contemplation of light and colour, for community gathering, and for the spiritual renewal that comes through sacred space.

Though undergoing extensive renovation to preserve its structural integrity—from façade to roof to interior surfaces—the church’s mission remains the same: to be a home for those seeking solace, inspiration, and connection. The church on Attila Square thus stands as a living bridge between past and present: a place where tradition, art, and faith converge, inviting all who pass by to pause, to look inward, and to find welcome in its walls.
