Individual Sights in SopronSight 1: Evangélikus templom
The Lutheran Church of Sopron stands in the city center, in the middle of Temple Street, near the mouth of Monastery Street and Bunker János Rajnárd köz. It is the third largest Lutheran church in Hungary, one of the great centres of Transdanubian Lutheranism.
Sight 2: Soproni Petőfi Színház
The Petőfi Theatre of Sopron is located in downtown Sopron, on Petőfi Square. The building, originally erected in 1840, owes its current form to the reconstruction of István Medgyaszay in 1909. The director and chief director of the institution was András Pataki from August 2012 to 2022.
Sight 3: Széchenyi tér
Széchenyi Square is located in downtown Sopron, where you can find many monuments and monumental buildings. Originally, there was a lake on the square, which was called the Two-Baker's Lake, because it was here that bakers who sold bread of the wrong size and weight were bathed. The lake was drained in 1828 and construction of the square began.
Sight 4: Szent György-templom
The gothic, single-nave interior of St. George's Church in Sopron was transformed in several steps after the fire of 1676: the main nave with a peak-arched closure was decorated with rich stucco and framed on both sides by a row of chapels.
Sight 5: Ózsinagóga
The Old Synagogue of Sopron stands in the courtyard of two late medieval buildings.
Sight 6: Szent Mihály főangyal templom
St. Michael's Church is the oldest parish church in Sopron. It is located along a very important traffic road, in the district of Szentmihálydomb. According to early medieval customs, it was built in a cemetery in the 13th century before the Mongol invasion, so it was placed outside the fortified city wall (Downtown). Originally built in Romanesque style, the church was rebuilt in the 15th century in Gothic style. After the fire in Sopron in 1728, it underwent a Baroque reconstruction, then it was Ferenc Storno who removed the Baroque features and transformed the church in neo-gothic style. Today it is one of Hungary's most important Gothic churches.
