Description of the Church in Türje

One of the earliest Premonstratensian abbey churches, it was built by French masters around 1230 and has remained almost unchanged. Originally Romanesque, it was subsequently refurbished in an early Gothic-Gothic style. In the 16th century the building suffered damage several times and was restored only in the 18th century. The main facade was rebuilt in Baroque style and the porch also received a Baroque frame. It was restored in Neo-gothic style by Kálmán Lux between 1920 and 1921.

Sights of the church include:

• a stone-framed tabernacle with a wrought iron door from 1478
• a medieval fresco depicting a scene from the legend of St Ladislaus
• frescoes in the sanctuary and the Saint Ann chapel painted by Stephan Dorffmeister
