A reformed monument of major importance for the city of Makó. The first church of the once largest denomination in Makó, the so-called “Old Church,” radiating dignity, was built in 1774. The organization of the construction work is credited to the preacher György Szikszai. In 1828, the northern part was expanded as the number of Reformed believers increased. The tower – built in 1787/88 – has rounded corners, with pilasters dividing its edges. The tower’s spire is made of brick. The tower reaches 47 meters in height, extending up to the sky.
The interior gallery is decorated with Empire-style stucco. The pulpit is built in Copf style, and its sounding board has Rococo influences. The windows of the church are segmental arched with a strong frame. The wall divisions of the nave are remarkably simple, almost Puritan, with its decorations being the lesenes and the coronation cornice. The church and the benches carved by a local master are protected as a historical monument. The Old Church is also a part of the city’s cultural life, hosting organ concerts and other musical events.
