What makes the Reformed Church in Mályi noteworthy?
The Reformed Church combines a precisely dated construction year with a clear stylistic classification: it was built in 1794 in the late Baroque style, following the Edict of Toleration. Its onion-dome tower stands in front of the east façade. The term “onion dome” describes the shape of the tower’s cupola and adds a specific architectural feature to the stylistic description. This makes it possible to consider the construction date, historical context, and design separately, without reducing the church to its year of construction.
