Árpád-era Church and Calvary

The tower has three levels with twin windows and is topped with a pyramidal spire reinforced by eight wooden beams. Built from sandstone, the church has undergone several restorations over time but has retained its medieval form. Its wall paintings reflect folk motifs, the altar is adorned with a medieval cross, and beneath the tower, a fragment of a baptismal font from the Romanesque period can be seen.

The unique atmosphere of the building is enhanced by its location at the intersection of energy lines, offering not only a historical but also a spiritual experience. The church's opening hours vary seasonally:

• 1 April – 30 September: 8:00–19:00

• 1 October – 31 March: 8:00–16:00

The Egregy church is a unique treasure not only from an architectural but also from a sacred and cultural perspective. It is a highly protected monument that survived the Ottoman era—perhaps because it was used as a cemetery chapel for a long time due to the depopulation of the village.

A Pilgrimage Amidst Nature

The Egregy Calvary is a 300-metre-long walkway with 14 stations, featuring an elevation gain of 23.5 metres—roughly equivalent to the height of an eight-storey building—leading towards the Árpád-era church. The path winds charmingly along the hillside, accompanied by shady trees, resting spots, and a design that exudes natural harmony.

The stations are decorated with works by Tibor Turi Török, and at the end of the Way of the Cross, a wooden cross and a stone sculpture symbolising the empty tomb remind visitors of Christ's resurrection. The route leads to the northern side of the Romanesque church built in the 13th century, offering both spiritual and historical experiences.

The Calvary can be explored on foot, by bicycle, by car, or as part of a guided tour. The city sightseeing electric minibus also allows visitors to discover other sacred sites in Hévíz.
