Point of interest - Sopron - Church of St. Jude of Tade (Dominican)

The Dominicans were settled in Sopron in 1674 by Countess Erzsébet Batthyány.

In 1700, the monks bought a house and land on the site of the present monastery and church. A chapel was built in the monastery and in 1703 the Rosary Society was founded. The foundation stone of the present church was laid and blessed on 15 November 1719, and the first Mass was celebrated on the feast of St Peter of Verona in 1723. Lőrinc Eisenkölbl designed the building and led the construction. The Baroque furnishings of the church, the high altar, the pulpit carved in gilded and painted wood with a statue of the founder of the order, the pews and the confessional were carved by a Dominican friend in the 18th century. The two towers were completed by 1775. The Chapel of the Perpetual Adoration, named after St Thomas Aquinas, opened in 2017 on the King Matthias Street side of the monastery.
