The spread of Christianity in Hungary
Numerous churches were built in villages during the Árpád era (11th-13th century), after the cessation of the Roman reign then the Hungarian Conquest, since the laws of Stephen I ordered already in the beginning of the 11th century to build one church in every ten villages.
The Roman style church of Egregy is the most beautiful example of the Hungarian village churches pasted in the landscape reflecting the most developed type in terms of proportions, mass formation and floor plan setup. The beautiful appearance is in balance with the practical skills of the master of a long term construction. It was built from the Pannon sandstone available in big quantity nearby. The most beautiful part of the church is the octagonal roofing of the tower where the window openings are separated by lank columns with richly decorated heads.
