The Reformed Church, Berehove

Undoubtedly, one of the most prominent sights of Transcarpathian Beregovo is the Reformed Church, which has an impressive capacity: at the same time, there can be more than a thousand parishioners in the church. Built in 1775, the church was often altered and completed, and a year after the arrival of Soviet power (in 1918) almost completely burnt. In 1924 it was decided to restore it in its original form.

Undoubtedly, one of the most prominent sights of the Transcarpathian town of Berehove is the Reformed Church, which has an impressive capacity: at the same time, there can be more than a thousand parishioners in the temple. Built in 1775, the church was often altered and completed, and a year after the arrival of Soviet power (in 1918) almost completely burnt. In 1924 he decided to restore it in its original form. Today, in conjunction with the city court in front of the building, the Reformed Church is the main decoration of Koshut Square in Berehove.

In the main tower above the entrance to the church there are clocks and bells. By the way, the reformers would not have been reformers, if they had not been original in their views on the interpretation of religion. Therefore, the spiers of the church are decorated not with traditional crosses, but with males. The exterior decoration of the temple is rather restrained. The only deviation from the monotonous white walls is the orange edging, giving the building some solemnity. The facade of the church is decorated with two memorial plaques: the memory of Bishop Istvan Gelei Cato (the author of the first Hungarian grammar) and the priest-founder of the Beregovo Reformation Balazs Rodan.

During the services, the organ of the Rieger brothers always sounds. In general, the church of the reformers is a subject of love and admiration for both locals and tourists, recalling such a notable era as the reform movement. As elsewhere, it is impossible to enter the church in shorts and with bare hands, and women - with their heads uncovered.
