Point of interest - Sopronbánfalva - Mary Magdalene Chapel

The site of the church of Mary Magdalene was once a Celtic settlement and later a Roman villa.

The single-nave church, which measures just 58 m2, stands on a site bordered by a stone wall. The church, a precious monument, has elements of both Romanesque and early Gothic style. Its square sanctuary was built in the Árpád period, using carved stones. The date 1427 is inscribed on the keystone of its vaulted arch. The tower dates from the 14th century. In the sanctuary there is a baptistery and a mural of a bishop, while in the nave there is a stone pulpit and a baptismal font. Fragments of frescoes in the nave depict the three kings and the last prayer and falling asleep of Mary. The walls show traces of ornamental decoration and colouring in several places, as well as wall faces with coats of arms and inscriptions.
