Vámosoroszi, Calvinist church

vamosoroszi

"Standing in the middle of the village, the building is still largely medieval. The two-bayed sanctuary closes with five sides of an octagon and is connected to a rectangular nave. The western tower of the church was built around 1820, and we have no information about its possible medieval predecessor. There are transformed medieval windows on the southern wall of the nave and the sanctuary. The sanctuary is covered with a ribbed net vault. On one of the keystones Christ’s head may be depicted,while on the other appears a coat of arms with a dragon. In the northeast and southeast corners, the ribs spring from carvings of human heads and in other parts of the sanctuary from small shields. The church was built at the end of the 15th century. Its wooden furnishings are also valuable, especially the crown of the pulpit made in the 18th century."
