Eger / Jegra Hungary
Serbian Orthodox
The church was built between 1729-1732, with the present church built in 1785. The iconostasis was carved in 1789-91. Many Serbs had fled to Hungary during wars with the Turks. From the 1600s they used the Augustinian church. 35,000 families came in 1690. The interior of the church is the richest in all Hungary today. It was sold to the Hungarian state as the Orthodox Serbs could not do the repairs. It is now a museum as there are no more Orthodox believers in Eger. The church is still a parish of the Bishopric of Buda.
