Year of inauguration
2015
Location
Olaszliszka

The gothic church of Olaszliszka, a listed building, stands in the main square of the village. In the pilgrim house, which was originally designed to be a wine restaurant, the existing village hall serves as a community room. Parallel with this, a specially designed room evocative of a summer house conceals a kitchen, while its rear section has become turned into a covered community space. Inside this raised shelter, one can sense both the dominant presence of the church and the river Bodrog stretching away to infnity. Between the two buildings sits the covered space serving as both an entrance lobby and café, which also houses the entrance to the former wine cellar.
