Bartos György: Megjegyzések a soproni ferences templom és kolostor építéstörténetéhez

The western gallery of the church is not readily fitted into this architectural history, with the tracery of its balustrade dating back to the early 15th century, and with information concerning the funds set up to build its organ suggesting a date sometime after 1450. There are several similar uncertainties and unexplored aspects, all of them suggesting that the complex study of the interior of the church and monastery, two important monuments in the architectural history of Hungary, should be launched as soon as possible. Illustrations 1. The northern facade of the church 2. The groundplan of the church and the adjoining parts of the monastery. The irregularities of the north wall of the chapter are easily recognizable. 3. The windows of the chancel the trefoiled tracery, which has capitals and bases, the latter decorated with consoles in a similar fashion that is seen at the base of the western door. 4. The northern windows of the chancel the frame have complicated moulding, the tracery is heart-shaped or pointed trefoiled, the mullions have no capitals and have a different base. 5.
