About Matthias Church

Matthias Church has stood on Castle Hill for centuries and was the scene of royal coronations. Its 19th-century restoration gave it the roof of colourful glazed tiles that makes it instantly recognisable, and its interior is painted from floor to vault. Look out for organ concerts in the evenings.

Why it's on our list

  • A roof of coloured Zsolnay tiles
