MŰHELY - Summaries

Due to a natural disaster in the 13th century the north sanctuary and the south and west wall of the church got demolished, and the building was reconstructed. The south windows of the nave were then raised above the level of the first period cornice. In late medieval time an ossarium and sacristy was erected on the north of the church, which could not be excavated, as the new nave - in use now - is standing over the site. On the south side new windows were opened benea th the smaller Romanesque ones in the 17th or 18th century. At the same time the Romanesque windows of the sanctuaries had to be walled of, as new altarpieces were placed here, and instead circular windows were opened higher up. In 1752 the church was rebuilt by its patron, Gáspár Lengyel. He had the outdated Romanesque ornaments removed from the sanctuaries, two towers raised on the west side, over the inner foundations of the earlier Romanesque towers, a crypt built under the nave, and three new windows opened in the south to replace the earlier ones. In 1882-1883 further alterations were carried out: the north wall and the sacristy and the gallery in the west was demolished, and a new north nave built The surviving part of the medieval church was turned into a sanctuary. I Ferenc ERDElTI The reconstruction of the Rotunda at Kiszombor The present - study was written by the excellent architect (+1986) in 1983 on one of his last desings. The reconstruction of the Kiszombor Rotunda had been focused on by the planning deparment of the Hungarian Inspectorate of Historical Monuments from 1970 on. Already the very first program (architect Judit Nagypál-Kiss, + 1980) expressed the wish to present the rotunda separated from the church, built later. This idea has never been dropped since. The 12th century building, erected over a six-foil ground plan, and standing originally by itself was extended in the 18th century by a nave. The Baroque architecture was damaged by an earthquake had to be demolished and was replaced by a neo-Romanesque structure in the 20th century (architect Károly Csányi). The reconstructed church with the shortcut east end where the new liturgical space was arranged is an altered version of the original plans. The sacristy (a delicate architectural problem), the winter chapel and confession chamber could all, eventually, been placed within the church. The altered plan found way to demonstrate the square shaped porch, once attached to the rotunda, but of which there is only architectural evidence today. Though it does disturb the unity of the interior, the effect was improved by adjusting it to the liturgical practice. The wall around the entrance to the rotunda was destroyed when connecting it to the newly built nave. This part - with the exception of a small, segment arched doorway, was walled off again. During the construction works the small door, and behind it the staircase leading to the attic from the choir, was also discovered. This gave clue to the original place of the choir, which was demonstrated by three beams on the upper spheres of the foil above the door. In the interior the walls were covered with 3 to 5 mm thick uneven coating, and an off white wash. New brick walls were coloured directly, with no coating. The floor is covered with brick, laid 30 cm higher to escape damage from high ground water level. The walls were treated with a three layer insulation system. As the original Romanesque cornice has not survived the top of the wall is indicated by two layers of extended brick, just below the gutter. The walls had originally been articulated by 14 lezenes, out of which every second were carved off in a later stage The surface of the carved off stripes were left uncoated in the reconstruction. The structure of the painted decora tion follows that of the architecture. The porch is demonstrated by the contour of a low kept wall

. Outside the rotunda the original medieval ground level was reconstructed.
