The Votive Church of Mohács, also known as the Church of the Annunciation, was constructed between 1926 and 1940 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Battle of Mohács. Designed by architects Aladár Árkay and his son Bertalan Árkay, it stands as Hungary’s first church with a reinforced concrete shell. The church features a 30-meter-high and 20-meter-wide dome, and its 1,227 square meter interior can accommodate up to 3,600 people. The stained glass windows, depicting saints in a style reminiscent of Gothic cathedrals, were created by Lili Árkayné Sztehló, Bertalan’s wife. The church was consecrated on August 29, 1940, and dedicated to the Virgin Mary, Patroness of Hungary.

Mohach historia verissima… (1527, Kraków), the earliest known eyewitness account of the Battle of Mohács, was written for King Sigismund I of Poland. This Latin chronicle, first published by Mátyás Pyrser, provides a detailed narrative of the 1526 battle and its aftermath, including the death of King Louis II and the collapse of Hungary’s political leadership. The work was later incorporated into János Zsámboky’s edition of Bonfini’s Decades (1568) and reissued in Frankfurt in 1581.
