Description: |
Polgár was already an inhabited settlement in prehistoric times. The settlement had its heyday in the 1600s, when it was an independent and privileged city, mainly thanks to its military. After that, its importance declined, and it is still only one of many small towns whose population lives mainly from agriculture. The town already had a church in the Árpád era, which was destroyed by the Tatar invasion of 1240. The town's population became Calvinist during the Reformation, so there was no Catholic church in the town at the beginning of the 1700s. Thanks to the changes in the religious proportion of the population, the Catholic church was built in 1748. After 100 years, this church proved to be very cramped, it was demolished, and based on the plans of the famous Hungarian architect József Hild, a huge classicist style church was built, which was completed in 1858. |
