The reformed church in  Obuda (IIIth District) is probably the most famous masterpiece of Karoly Kos in Budapest as well as an outstanding example of the Transilvanya styled Szecesszio design. The National Romantic elements characterize every single detail in this church, combining rural lines, geometrical shaped doors and windows, extensive use of wood element and relief stones on the façade. The church is a little bit far away from the very touristic center of Budapest, even if still accessible without great effort. Since it is not far from the Obuda Sziget, eventually the isle where the approaching Sziged festival will take place, it could be easily visited after or pre party time.
