St. Michael Church with tower, Sopron

The Church of St. Michael is the oldest parish church in Sopron. It is located along a very important traffic route in the Szentmihálydomb district. In accordance with early medieval customs, it was built in a cemetery in the 13th century before the Tatar invasion, so it was outside the fortified city wall. Originally built in Romanesque style, the church was rebuilt in Gothic style in the 15th century. After the fire of Sopron in 1728, the church was rebuilt in Baroque style, and it was Ferenc Storno who removed the Baroque features and rebuilt it in Neo-Gothic style. Today it is one of the most important Gothic churches in Hungary.

The complete restoration of the more than 700-year-old church was completed in November 2020. It has a new tiled roof, several sculptures and the stone flooring have been restored.
