Matits Ferenc: Protestant Churches - Our Budapest (Budapest, 2003)

■ external view of the church site the pulpit. Above the aisle and the 3.75-metre long porch of the main entrance is the organ loft. Miksa Róth was commissioned to make the stained glass windows, which were paid for from funds raised by the congregation and had to be partially reconstructed due to damage sustained during the war. The interior, its walls covered by an ornamental pattern, receives natural light through the large windows. The vaulting above the Gothic-style interior is paint­ed in like manner. Appearing above the portico, which is decorated with a mosaic, and, inside the church, over the organ-pipes embedded in wood, there is an eye-catching rosette five metres in diameter. To the right of the main entrance, in the extension of the aisle as it were, stands a 55-metre tall tower containing the stairs leading to the organ loft. Near the sanctuary and the sac­risty there is another flight of gallery steps. The external coating of the church is animated by the alternation of stone and brick surfaces. Instruction in the secondary school started in September 1904, while the key-stone of the church was ceremonially placed in position on 7 October 1905, when the church was also consecrated. '9
