Two churches, different building periods

The Roman Catholic church in Nagybarát was built in 1792 in the Late Baroque style. The Roman Catholic church in Kisbaráti dates from the first half of the 18th century and was built in the Baroque style. In chronological terms, this means a Baroque building from the first half of the century and a later Late Baroque church dating from 1792. The original furnishings of the Kisbaráti church are considered to have been preserved; its churchyard is also used as a burial ground. Visitors interested in ecclesiastical architectural history will find specific points of reference here relating to style, construction dates, furnishings and the churchyard.
