VALTER Ilona: A tornaszentandrási r.k. templom kutatása

130 VALTER ILONA nave with two altars to the church. A gallery resting on pillars occupied the western side, while an outer ossarium was built to the southern wall. The gothic nave was painted by masters, who learnt painting in Italy. The Turks burnt the village of Szentandrás in 1576. The population fled, the church had no owner for about 150 years. The roofless ruins of the church were rebuilt for the new population by András Zsillavy, parson of Bódvaszilas. The walls were repaired, tiled roof and tabular ceiling were built and three altars were placed inside. The popular baroque gallery of U form and the pulpit were made between 1789 and 1814.
