Mary Magdalen Parish-Church
Mary Magdalen Church, with its two steeples, is projecting in the centre of the town next to the Museum. It was erected between 1750-60. The frescoes and the high altar piece of the baroque parish-church depicting the town’s patron saint, Mary Magdalen, who is also present in the arms of Zalaegerszeg, were made by the Austrian painter Johann Cymbal. Next to the church a memorial plaque and a statue keep the memory of József Mindszenty, Prince-Primate and Archbishop of Esztergom. The square in front of the church is ornamented by the Statue of the Holy Trinity erected in 1810 and restored in 2006.
