A very enigmatic building, made of at least four materials to hold the walls. We did not understand immediatly what it was about when we visited Buda. However it is a nice remnant from the past in the middle of a beautiful place (Buda). It is funny to look at the plates on the building around there. Almost all of them display the name: "Muemlek", which mean monument in Hungarian language.

CHURCH OF MARY MAGDALENE The Church of Mary Magdalene in Buda, across from City Hall in the northwest of Buda Hill, is one of the oldest churches in the Buda Castle District. Constructed in Gothic style between the 13th and 15th centuries, it's dedicated to Mary Magdalene, a follower of Jesus. Today, only the church's tower and ruins remain. Among these ruins, a restored window stands prominently in the eastern corner of the church. The view from the tower's highest point is panoramic and rewarding, but the ascent involves numerous narrow steps that might tire you. Moreover, I wouldn't recommend it to someone with a fear of heights.

Belfry of Church of Maria Magdalene. This church was founded after Mongolian invasion and was built in second half of XIII century. During WW II church was damaged during allied air rads. It was demolished by local communists after WW II. Military History Museum. Buda Castle, Autumn 🍂 is coming! Budapest, 🇭🇺 Hungary 🇭🇺. November 2, 2021.

Church of Saint Mary Magdalene is a towering gem in Budapest, but be prepared for quite a climb! There are numerous stairs to ascend and descend, so it's essential to be physically fit. However, the effort is undoubtedly worth it, as you'll be rewarded with stunning views of the city from the top. The church's architecture is captivating, and its historical significance adds to the overall experience. Once you reach the summit, take a moment to soak in the panoramic vistas and capture some breathtaking photos. Keep in mind that the climb may not be suitable for everyone, but if you're up for the challenge, the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene is a must-visit spot in Budapest for its unique perspective on the city.

Lovely place with amazing views so glad we visited

Really a bad place. We went there and it was close. I have no comment!

Remains of Gothic church partially destroyed at end of WWII. The tower still stands and is open (for a fee OR for free with the Budapest Card) to climb. Well worth it to see the view of the city.

Pretty church tower at the southern end of the old town of Buda. Nice architecture and information boards around, good to check out when wandering around the old town…

The access is free with the Budapest Card. Since these are the ruins of an ancient church, there is not much to see. An absolute negative point is the lack of an handrail: you must climb an endless spiral staircase, with narrow, high and worn-out steps, without any safety support. Still, the view from the top is great.

It's one of the best places in Budapest, a shell of what it used to be but remarkable history, you get a grasp of the entire history of the city through the history of this church from when the city was established to the bitter years of World War II and Communism. Entry is cheap and you get a few good views of the hills of Buda and the surrounding buildings

This church is a medieval church, but it was reconstructed in baroque style after the big damage it suffered during the fifth austro hungarian war and the liberation of Hungary from the ottoman invasion. Today remains only the tower and a window in a typical gothic style. It's a beautiful, magnific place, worth the visit. It brings you to another area.

Just recently opened the tower has impressive 360 degree views. 172 steps and 900 HUF puts you at the top. They are still working on the place so as yet there are no exhibitions or displays. Just the tower and the views. Still worth it.

Nice and ancient towe... You can walk until the top of it and watch a really beautiful view of the city!

Ok looking church, nothing special from the outside. The best things are the surroundings.

Beautiful place to visit, I got to hear the bells and it was very nice, try to go on a o clock time. Don’t miss it.

The building itself has a strange shape that makes it interesting. You can go up for a small fee and have a view on the city. However, I don’t consider it to be a must to do.

Nice church with interesting ruins and beautiful surroundings

(Translated by Google) Interesting remainder of the church, which remains only a tower and one window. One can get up into the tower. (Original) Zajímavý zbytek kostela, ze kterého zbylá jen věž a jedno okno. Dá se dostat nahoru do věže.

Nice place to visit

Just a short walk across from the castle grounds Only the tower of this gothic style church left but this has a staircase to amazing views

(Translated by Google) From the top of the tower you can observe a beautiful panorama, recommended if you are in possession of the budapestcard and therefore with free admission, otherwise I would not know if it is worth the expense. (Original) Dalla cima della torre si può osservare un belissimo panorama, consigliato se si è in possesso della budapestcard e quindi con l'ingresso gratuito, altrimenti non saprei se ne vale la spesa.

(Translated by Google) We were not upstairs in the tower, it would have been a lot of stairs (Original) A toronyba nem voltink fönt kicsit sok lépcső lett volna

Worth visiting. Not been inside.but area around it was beautiful

Worth to see it, but the only part with left from the building is a tower and one of the walls. U can see more info about tower inside of the building, awailable for free

Lovely exterior remnants of the church, and very interesting history explained in English placards inside. Incredible view from the top.

(Translated by Google) historical church tower with possibility to visit (Original) historischer kirchturm mit möglichkeit zur besichtigung

it's a great place. friendly, helpfull staff. just in this days a cartoon exhibition "ultimate peace" free toilet outside.

In the centre of Buda Castle area. There is a charge to visit inside but we did not go in. Beautiful outside with painted terracotta roof. Spectacular at night when along with other important buildings it is lit up.

We went to the top. It a nice place and the lady from the reception made us a nice introduction.

Only place we’ve been that telling the history of the Hungary.

Well worth the climb - stunning views from the top. Lady at the kiosk was lovely and very helpful ☺️. Would recommend.

Some stairs to climb up but the view is worth the effort. Some panels describe the bistory of the church ruins and tower

Well worth the visit. Alternative view of Budapest if one does not want to have to go to St. Matthias' Church. Cheaper and quieter. An interesting history of the various sieges that affected the church and castle hill is provided. A lovely view of Budapest. The woman at the till who charged entry was unfriendly and, whether intended or not, nearly charged me the same fee twice.

We came to the sight at 16:30h / 4:30 pm, and it said at the sight that the tower is open until 18h / 6 pm, yet it was already closed when we came. We knocked on the door and a worker there ignored us for a while and then arrogantly yelled at us that the place was closed, we pointed at the time yet nothing came of it. There was no sign that said that they were closed or some indication that they did not work, and on Google Maps as well as at the sight it clearly said that they are open until 18h. We saw other tourists wanting to see the sight who were confused too as to why it is already closed. We later found out on their website that they are just open until 16h / 4 pm, but it would be much better if it were not misleadingly written on the sight that they were open until 18h / 6 pm. So, if you plan to visit this beatiful gothic tower, be prepared that it might be closed even if it says otherwise on Google Maps and on the sight itself, and check their website before you go to see when they close

Wonderful buiding, near to the main attractions in the area

A historic building is worth seeing while walking around the castle district.

(Translated by Google) The church should also be rebuilt. (Original) A templomot is újjá kellene építeni.

(Translated by Google) Worth seeing and the whole old part of the shack. (Original) Warte zobaczenia jak i cała stara część budy.

(Translated by Google) Very nice. And the little bells when I start, amazing music jingles. (Original) Nagyon szép. És a kis harangok amikor beindítjak, csodálatos zene csilingel.

(Translated by Google) The beautiful view is worth the stairs. After climbing the tower, the view of the city opens in the palm of your hand, the stairs to the tower are about 60 cm narrow for weaker adrenaline. (Original) Krásná vyhlídka stojí za ty schody . Po výstupu na věž se otevře pohled na město jako na dlani ,schody na věž jsou úzké cca 60 cm pro slabší nátury adrenalin

(Translated by Google) The chimes are broken, the tower is beautiful and interesting. (Original) A harangjáték elromlott, szép és érdekes a torony.

360 degree view of Budapest!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful (Original) Splendida

(Translated by Google) The tower is located in a quiet and peaceful part of the castle hill. (Original) Wieża znajduje się w cichej i spokojnej części wzgórza zamkowego.

(Translated by Google) It is incredible how this building has remained everywhere so many wars (Original) Неймовірно, як ця споруда залишилася скрізь стільки війн

(Translated by Google) They are ruins of an old church, as such there is little to see there, however it is not bad as a stop we made with a tourist bus. However as a recommended place to see in Budapest I would not recommend it at all. (Original) Son ruinas de una antigua iglesia, como tal poco se puede mirar allí, sin embargo no esta mal como una parada que hicimos con un bus turístico. Sin embargo como sitio recomendable para ver en Budapest no lo recomendaria del todo.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place with the ruins of the church (Original) Hermoso lugar con las ruinas de la iglesia

(Translated by Google) It is a spiritual filling, a beautiful sight to walk around from the outside and just be with the thoughts and feelings that break into the surface and let go as they come ... (Original) Szellemi töltekezés, gyönyörű látvány kívülről körbe járni és csak úgy a gondolatokkal, érzésekkel együtt lenni, amik közbe felszínre törnek és ahogy jönnek, úgy el is engedni...

(Translated by Google) We like to walk there because we live nearby. (Original) Szeretünk ott sétálni, mert a közelben lakunk.

Beautiful church and tower overlooking Budapest!

Not open at 10am on Saturday. Otherwise lovely ancient church and peaceful spot.

Nice view of the ruins and historical buildings. You have to take the spiral stairs to get to the top of the tower.

Worth the 230 step climb for a great view and a cool breeze. Nicely prepared posters along the climb up to the top of the tower give you a comprehensive history lesson in a short time.

Nice remains of the church, view from the tower is tremendous.

(Translated by Google) It is a place to visit, we went at night and it is a magical place, not only what remains of the church but the whole bastion. I recommend going to see it day and night. Spectacular (Original) Es un sitio para visitar,nosotros fuimos de noche y es un sitio mágico,no solo lo que queda de la iglesia sino todo el bastión. Recomiendo ir a verlo de día y de noche. Espectacular

Beautiful architecture

(Translated by Google) The view from the bell tower is really good, but nothing but the view there + the climb up the spiral stairs is very steep and high. (Original) Вид з дзвіниці дійсно хороший, але нічого окрім виду там немає + підйом по винтових сходах дуже крутий та високий.

(Translated by Google) It's a lookout tower, but it's not worth visiting. (Original) È una torre panoramica, ma non vale la pena visitarla.

(Translated by Google) You can go if you have a Budapest card and the entrance to the tower is free, it makes no sense to spend money (Original) Можна сходити якщо в вас є Budapest card і вхід на вежу безкоштовний, витрачати гроші не має сенсу

If you are crazy about unique views, this place is a must and worth to climb the 170 steps. Interesting and informative timeline display with history on each level.

(Translated by Google) It's historic and I really like it. (Original) Történelmi és nagyon szeretem az ilyet.

(Translated by Google) The view of Budapest from above is definitely worth the cost of the entrance ticket. Also, if you arrive with one of the tourist minibuses, you can get a discount. (Original) La veduta di Budapest dall'alto vale sicuramente il costo del biglietto di ingresso. Inoltre, se si arriva con uno dei minibus turistici, si può avere uno sconto.

(Translated by Google) The building was founded in 1408, it was restored in some places, climbing the stone stairs is normal, but it was hard for me, as a noble warrior of heights, especially the descent, let go of trembling for a long time. Inside, there’s nothing to look at, but the windows offer a bird's eye view of the city. March 2020 price 1,500 forints (Original) Здание 1408 года основания, местами восстановлено, подъем по каменной лестнице нормально, но по железной винтовой для меня, как знатного бояльщика высоты, было тяжеловато, особенно спуск, дрожь долго отпускал. Внутри смотреть особо не на что, а вот из окон открывается вид на город с высоты птичьего полёта. Цена на март 2020 1500 форинтов

Impressive center to the castle district! The colors of the roof are quite unique, and the architecture is dramatic gothic.

(Translated by Google) It is worth approaching from the Bastion to contemplate the Tower of the ruined church of Santa Maria Magdalena; near it we can see a Soviet T34 Tank, in front of the Military History Museum. Next to it, the Statue of Saint John Capistrano, one of the patrons of Hungary. (Original) Merece la pena acercarse desde el Bastión para contemplar la Torre de la iglesia en ruinas de Santa María Magdalena; cerca de ella podemos ver un Tanque T34 soviético, frente al Museo de Historia Militar. A su lado, la Estatua de San Juan Capistrano, uno de los patrónes de Hungría.

(Translated by Google) Little interest (Original) Peu d'intérêt

(Translated by Google) The tower of the church of Mary Magdalene in Buda is all that remains of the Buda guard church erected here in 1274. They say that the Hungarians came to pray here, since only the Germans were allowed to enter the church of St. Matthias. In the seventeenth century, after the liberation of the Hungarian lands from the Turkish yoke, during which the church of Mary Magdalene was turned into a mosque, the monks from the Order of St. Francis of Assisi rebuilt the temple in the Baroque style. Already in the XX century, during the Second World War, the church was significantly affected by shelling - from it there was practically only one foundation. In the fifties, the leader of the Communist Party of Hungary, Matthias Rakosi, ordered the liquidation of the ruins. And only in 1989 it was possible to begin the restoration of the tower of the church of Mary Magdalene using the old baroque building. Recovery was completed in 1997. I recommend to visit! By BudapestCard admission is free! (Original) Башня церкви Марии Магдалины в Буде — это всё, что осталось от возведенной здесь в 1274 году церкви будайской стражи. Рассказывают, что сюда приходили молиться венгры, так как в церковь Святого Матьяша разрешено было заходить лишь немцам. В семнадцатом столетии после освобождения венгерских земель от турецкого ига, во время которого церковь Марии Магдалины была превращена в мечеть, монахи из ордена Святого Франциска Ассизского перестроили храм в стиле барокко. Уже в XX веке, в годы Второй мировой войны, церковь значительно пострадала от обстрелов - от нее остался практически один только фундамент. В пятидесятые годы лидер коммунистической партии Венгрии Матьяш Ракоши отдал приказ ликвидировать руины. И лишь в 1989 году удалось начать реставрацию башни церкви Марии Магдалины с использованием старой барочной постройки. Восстановление завершилось в 1997 году. Для посещения рекомендую!

(Translated by Google) The stairs are very long, but it is worth climbing ☺️ (Original) Nagyon hosszú a lépcső, de megéri felmenni ☺️

(Translated by Google) Beautiful building, worth seeing (Original) Bello edificio, merece la pena verlo
