This will be one of the caches in a series of 10 caches in Pápa.
It is not only by virtue of their seize that these thirteen buildings rise above the homes of the small baroque town. When taking a look at the townscape from a distance, travelers first catch sight of steeples of the churches. It is of a touch absolute serenity that is being radiated by these steeples, no matter what style and period in history they represent. The stones, of which they were built, have witnessed inconceivable depths of time: bloody fights, religious debates and impatience, uplifting and splendid feasts, sermons by outstanding and famous preachers, prayers of monks and nuns, choir of students. They continue to bear witness to the dedicated lives of the landlords who would always sacrifice some of their enormous wealth for them. These church buildings are testimony to a history living with us. They hide secrets. The true spirit of Pápa can only be sensed through the stories of these buildings. We will bring you to all these churches!

The Franciscan monks settled in Pápa probably in the 15th century The first church was burnd in a fire and this one was rebuilt between 1678 and 1680. Pápa has been the centre of the Transdanubian Reformed Church, whose famous college was founded in 1531. Its spirituality has had a significant role in the life of the town since then.
