Description

The Reformed Great Church of Debrecen, Hungary's largest Reformed and Protestant church, is a symbol of the Hungarian Reformed Church and is often called the "Calvinist Rome." Built between 1805 and 1824 in neoclassical style, it replaced previous structures destroyed by fire. Despite setbacks, including damage during the Rákóczi War of Independence and a major fire in 1802, the church stands tall. Notable events in Hungarian history, such as the government's declaration of independence in 1849, have taken place within its walls. The church's interior boasts a spacious nave, accommodating around 3000 worshippers, and features historical artifacts like Lajos Kossuth's chair.
