pillars. To the early nave, as judged from its forms and brick walls, a big Gothic chancel was built in the 15th century. Bodrogolaszi's round chancel church with a west steeple has remained in its original form, whose existence is confirmed by a document from 1201. Felsőregmec's church is famous for its fine form details. Its steeple partitioned by twin windows rises from the attic of the west facade. Its straight ended chancel equivalent with its nave in width was built already in the Gothic period. The classic examples of the late Romanesque small village churches with straight ended chancels can be found in Abod and Ragály. Abaujkér's church is hardly bigger on whose south wall, early Gothic windows were opened beside the built in Romanesque split windows. The transition to Gothic style is represented by Sajókeresztur's church on whose straight ended chancel, an early tracery lancet window opens. Its west portal and chancel arch are also pointed. At the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, the Gothic style appears as enlargements of the Romanesque churches by new, bigger, polygonal chancels. The small churches of Zubogy and Szentsimon are very good examples to this. Their interiors are decorated with beautifully painted wooden ceilings from 1 726 and 1650. Edelény's church is already a matured, uniform Gothic piece, from the second half of the 14th century. Its south gate and traceried windows witness experienced pasters. From the late 16th century on, a number of new Gothic parish churches were erected in the flourishing country towns of the region. Among them worth mentioning are the churches of Sajószentpéter and Szikszó, the remained cross-vaulted chancel of Mezőkövesd's church and the mining town, Rudabánya's former three nave hall church, the two west vault portions of which surviving as a Protestant church, are covered with painted wood ceiling from 1 758. In the vicinity of Tokaj, the church of Bodrogkeresztúr stands totally intact, preserving the net vaulting of its nave from 1520. A similar one can be found in Hejce, the exterior of which was re-built in the late Baroque period. The most monumental Gothic church in the wine growing region of Tokaj can be found in Sárospatak. In the late 15th century, it was reconstructed into a three nave hall church with a narrow, polygonal ended chancel from the former basilica church. After 1540, its contemporary advowee enlarged it for Protestant services and lengthened its nave with three vault sections. The big tracery windows of the old chancel were replaced into the new walls. The late Gothic vaulting made at that time was repalced by a simple Baroque vaulting about 1 780. Another big late Gothic church in the county was erected in about 1480, on Avas hill, Miskolc, on the place of a former church. The three nave hall church was ended by a pentagonal ended chancel hall. The Turkish burned it down in 1 544. The slim Gothic pillars were replaced by massive walled
