very elaborately restored facade

Wonderfully renovated, worth a visit!

The museum is located in the monumental building of the Reformed College behind the Reformed Great Church - this originally dates from 1568 but was badly damaged in a fire in 1802 and rebuilt in the classicist style from 1802-1816 and expanded into the most important Calvinist university in Hungary. The building houses a library with the largest collection of ecclesiastical books in Hungary. see also https://www.zauberhaftes-ungarn.de/staedte/debrecen.htm

Kossuth tér is the central square in Debrecen, around which numerous historical buildings are gathered. The Great Reformed Church in the background gives the square a very monumental appearance; it owes its actual name to the Kossuth monument in front of the church. The Debrecen city coat of arms, which is carved into the ground as a mosaic, and the fountain with the statue of a phoenix bird are further attractions of one of the most beautiful places in Hungary.

The landmark of Debrecen. The church is considered a symbol of Protestant faith in Hungary. In this context, Debrecen is also called Calvinist Rome. The church building is Hungary's largest Reformed church in terms of area (1,500 square meters) and also houses the largest bell in a Reformed church. On the site of today's church was already in the 10th century a church that was destroyed as the subsequent church buildings by a fire. Between 1297 and 1311, the St. Andrew's Church was built in its place. That was a gothic hall church. The approximately 16 by 46 meters large church burned down in 1564 again. The urban population, who at that time already professed Protestantism, began in 1626 with the rebuilding of the Andreaskirche. With the support of György Rákóczi, the construction was completed in 1628. In 1640-42, an extraordinary tower was built, in which a 60-hundred-pound bell, cast from Austrian cannonballs, was hung. In 1707 the church was damaged during the independence struggle by the imperial troops. On June 11, 1802, the church burned down again in a conflagration. The present building was built between 1805 and 1824 in the classical style. The construction of the new Classicist church began on April 8, 1805. The original plans are by Mihály Péchy, but they were changed several times until the church was completed. The western tower was completed in 1818, the eastern on August 6, 1821. Both towers are each 61 meters high. 1823/24, the south facade was redesigned according to the plans of Károly Rábl. The tower helmets provided with clocks still bear Baroque style elements. The left tower is mountable. It also contains the old Rákóczi bell, which was re-cast after the conflagration and weighs 50 talents.
