Holy Trinity Column & Piarist Church Photo

Photographer’s Note

Holy Trinity Column (Szentháromság-oszlop)

The Holy Trinity Column stands in the centre of what is today Holy Trinity Square, once the fishmarket, in Vác. The Baroque-style, sandstone column made between 1750 and 1755 remembers survivors of the plague.

Piarist church of St Anne, Roman Catholic (Szent Anna)

The foundation for the church consecrated to St Anne was laid in 1725 by the Piarist order. The church was completed in 1745. In 1866 the Baroque church was renovated in Eclectic style. The unique feature of the church is the mirrored altar from Venice. The original onion dome of the Roman Catholic church was converted in 1886 to a German Renaissance style. In the recess above the balcony of the facade is the statue of the founder of the order, St Joseph Calasanctius. The high and side altars, the pulpit, the vestry cabinet, and the wooden cross were all made in the latter part of the 18th century. The tabernacle of the high altar dates from 1759.

Vác

One of the most attractive Hungarian Baroque cities boasts a past dating back to the Bronze Age. It has been a centre of Catholic faith and a diocesan town for centuries.
The foundation of the diocese of Vác is unanimously attributed by historians to the first Hungarian king, St Stephen I. The completion of the bishop's cathedral is also associated with Géza I and, according to this monarch's wishes he was burried here. The interior decoration of the cathedral dates from the time of King St Ladislaus (László). The cathedral stands next to the bishop's palace together with the canon homes and a military barrack on what is today called King Géza Square (Géza király tér). The historic central area of Vác developed in the early 18th century when the once segregated German and Hungarian districts began to merge with one another while maintaining the original medieval town plan. Today the city is the cultural and commercial centre of the left bank of the Danube bend and the most visited tourist destination.

Hi George,
An excellent photo of the column and the church, presented in such a great symmetrical composition. The sharpness is great so the details of the sculptures can be seen really well. The colours are great too and brought out nicely by the sunlight. Very well done and thanks for sharing!

Nice capture George, the colors on the pedestal of the statue is great and there is so much detail showing both in the structure and the texture. The church looks to be a little worse for the wear though that adds to the detail of the photo. Great presentation.

Hi George,
A well chosen POV to get the column right between the two spires, thus giving a symmetric approach to the photo. Colors are superb and details sharpness excellent. An well documented note too.
Greetings
