Kostol sv. Alžbety
Slovakia
Kostol sv. Alžbety in Muľa looks, at first glance, like a modest village church. What makes it unusual is the material. Built in 1910 to a design by the architect István Medgyaszay, it is described as the first reinforced-concrete structure among the churches of the former Kingdom of Hungary. It was a private commission for the Körffy family rather than a parish project, and it is dedicated to St Elizabeth of Hungary. As you approach, it helps to remember that this was an experiment: a new structural material put to work on one of the oldest building types there is.
