Veszprém-Gyulafirátót – Church of St. John of Nepomuk

This Historicist church stands on its own on sloping terrain. It is oriented along the north-south axis, has a gable roof covered in tiles, and has a single nave. Its apse is narrower than the nave and terminates in a polygon. It has a sacristy on the eastern side and a chapel on the western side. The tower protrudes slightly from the southern, main façade, and it has semicircular arched fenestration on its four levels, a door and three windows. The corners of the tower are framed by lesenes on each level. There are two blind windows beside the tower, one on either side. The two side façades are nearly identical with three semicircular arched windows on each side and with sectioned lesenes indicating the bays. There is a shed-roofed sacristy connected to the eastern side with a stone framed door on its southern façade. There is a small, gable-roofed Modernist chapel built from stone adjoining the western wall of the apse. At the front of the chapel’s façade, a flight of stairs ending in a buttress leads to the stone framed crypt, which is now walled up. The three-bay nave covered with surbased sail vaulting and the apse are decorated with painted patterns. There is a three-arched gallery at the southern end of the nave. The Calvary in the northern part of the village, on the hill north of the Catholic church, is comprised of the three crosses surrounded by an iron fence and the 14 stations lined up in a slight curve on the western side of the access road. The corpuses and the paintings at the stations are modern works. Read less
