Greek church

The green church tower is immediately visible from the Danube bank, creating a true Mediterranean atmosphere in the narrow winding street. This is the tower of the Greek church in the courtyard of the Ignác Tragor Museum. 

The Orthodox merchants of Vác, called Greeks, settled in Vác at the beginning of the 18th century, and then, together with other ethnic settlers, such as Serbs, they started building the church as a community at the end of the 18th century. 

Interestingly, the entrance is not from the street. The reason for this is that at that time only a Catholic church could be built on the main road, so a wealthy family from Vác offered their own plot of land on which to build the church. 

If you've been to Vác many times, you'll be familiar with the Greek Church building. Its interior is a very special exhibition hall, which nowadays hosts art, history, archaeology, ethnography and interdisciplinary exhibitions from spring to autumn.

*The church can currently only be visited from the outside due to renovations.
