<p>🇫🇷 Le maître-autel néo-gothique, dessiné par Frigyes Shulek, s'inspire des triptyques gothiques. La partie centrale intègre une statue de la Vierge dans une mandorle. La première travée droite ouvre sur deux chapelles latérales, autrefois prolongées par des absidioles hémicyclindriques entièrement recouvertes de fresques polychromes, ainsi également sur les voûtes. Réalisées au XIXe siècle, elles prennent pour thème des scènes religieuses ou historiques magyares. <br />
Sous le chœur, une crypte néo-romane a été entièrement réalisée au XIXe siècle.<br />
<br />
🇬🇧 The neo-Gothic high altar, designed by Frigyes Shulek, is inspired by Gothic triptychs. The central section features a statue of the Virgin Mary within a mandorla. The first bay on the right opens onto two side chapels, which were formerly extended by semi-cylindrical apsidioles entirely covered with polychrome frescoes, as are the vaults. Painted in the 19th century, they depict religious or historical Hungarian scenes.<br />
Beneath the choir, a Neo-Romanesque crypt was built entirely in the 19th century.<br />
<br />
🇩🇪 Der von Frigyes Shulek entworfene neugotische Hochaltar ist von gotischen Triptychen inspiriert. Im Mittelteil ist eine Statue der Jungfrau Maria in einer Mandorla zu sehen. Das erste rechte Joch mündet in zwei Seitenkapellen, die früher durch halbzylindrische Apsiden verlängert waren, die vollständig mit vielfarbigen Fresken bedeckt sind, ebenso wie die Gewölbe. Diese im 19. Jahrhundert entstandenen Fresken zeigen religiöse oder historische Szenen aus der ungarischen Geschichte.<br />
Unter dem Chor befindet sich eine neoromanische Krypta, die vollständig im 19. Jahrhundert errichtet wurde.<br />
<br />
🇪🇸 El altar mayor neogótico, diseñado por Frigyes Shulek, se inspira en los trípticos góticos. La parte central alberga una estatua de la Virgen dentro de una mandorla. La primera nave derecha da acceso a dos capillas laterales, que antiguamente se prolongaban mediante absidiolos hemicilíndricos totalmente recubiertos de frescos policromados, al igual que las bóvedas. Realizados en el siglo XIX, tienen como tema escenas religiosas o históricas húngaras.<br />
Bajo el coro, se construyó íntegramente en el siglo XIX una cripta neorrománica.<br />

🇮🇹 L'altare maggiore neogotico, progettato da Frigyes Shulek, si ispira ai trittici gotici. La parte centrale ospita una statua della Vergine all'interno di una mandorla. La prima campata destra si apre su due cappelle laterali, un tempo prolungate da absidioli emicilindrici interamente ricoperti di affreschi policromi, così come le volte. Realizzati nel XIX secolo, questi affreschi hanno come tema scene religiose o storiche ungheresi.<br />

<p>🇫🇷 Malgré de nombreuses destructions au cours des siècles, l'église conserve une partie de sa structure originelle. Ainsi du chœur, formé de deux travées droites et d'un rond-point, intégré dans une abside sans déambulatoire. La construction de cet ensemble s'est étalée sur dix ans, de 1250 à 1260.<br />
Si la partie inférieure est encore marquée par l'architecture romane (contreforts, baies en plein-cintre), la partie supérieure présente des caractéristiques gothiques plus marquées, notamment dans les fenêtres hautes.<br />
Une nef de quatre travées, doublée de bas-côtés, a été édifiée entre 1260 et 1279. Les bas-côtés ont été surhaussés au XIVe siècle, Un ensemble de chapelles latérales a été ajouté au cours de la période de reconstruction du sanctuaire par Frigyes Schulek entre 1872 et 1896<br />
<br />
🇬🇧 Despite extensive damage over the centuries, the church retains part of its original structure. This is the case with the chancel, comprising two straight bays and a semicircular bay, set within an apse without an ambulatory. Construction of this complex took ten years, from 1250 to 1260.<br />
Whilst the lower part still bears the hallmarks of Romanesque architecture (buttresses, semicircular arches), the upper part displays more pronounced Gothic features, particularly in the high windows.<br />
A four-bay nave, flanked by aisles, was built between 1260 and 1279. The aisles were raised in the 14th century. A series of side chapels was added during the reconstruction of the sanctuary by Frigyes Schulek between 1872 and 1896.<br />
<br />
🇩🇪 Trotz zahlreicher Zerstörungen im Laufe der Jahrhunderte hat die Kirche einen Teil ihrer ursprünglichen Struktur bewahrt. Dies gilt auch für den Chor, der aus zwei geraden Jochen und einem Rundbogen besteht und in eine Apsis ohne Chorumgang integriert ist. Der Bau dieses Komplexes erstreckte sich über zehn Jahre, von 1250 bis 1260.<br />
Während der untere Teil noch von der romanischen Architektur geprägt ist (Stützpfeiler, Rundbogenfenster), weist der obere Teil deutlichere gotische Merkmale auf, insbesondere bei den hohen Fenstern.<br />
Zwischen 1260 und 1279 wurde ein vierjochiges Hauptschiff mit Seitenschiffen errichtet. Die Seitenschiffe wurden im 14. Jahrhundert aufgestockt. Eine Reihe von Seitenkapellen wurde im Zuge des Umbaus des Heiligtums durch Frigyes Schulek zwischen 1872 und 1896 hinzugefügt.<br />
<br />
🇪🇸 A pesar de los numerosos daños sufridos a lo largo de los siglos, la iglesia conserva parte de su estructura original. Es el caso del coro, formado por dos tramos rectos y un semicírculo, integrado en un ábside sin deambulatorio. La construcción de este conjunto se prolongó durante diez años, desde 1250 hasta 1260.<br />
Si bien la parte inferior sigue mostrando rasgos de la arquitectura románica (contrafuertes, vanos de medio punto), la parte superior presenta características góticas más marcadas, sobre todo en las ventanas altas.<br />
Entre 1260 y 1279 se construyó una nave de cuatro tramos, flanqueada por naves laterales. Las naves laterales se elevaron en el siglo XIV. Durante el periodo de reconstrucción del santuario a cargo de Frigyes Schulek, entre 1872 y 1896, se añadió un conjunto de capillas laterales.<br />

La costruzione di questo complesso si è protratta per dieci anni, dal 1250 al 1260.<br />
Mentre la parte inferiore è ancora caratterizzata dall’architettura romanica (contrafforti, archi a tutto sesto), quella superiore presenta caratteristiche gotiche più marcate, in particolare nelle finestre alte.<br />
Tra il 1260 e il 1279 fu costruita una navata centrale a quattro campate, affiancata da navate laterali. Le navate laterali furono rialzate nel XIV secolo; una serie di cappelle laterali fu aggiunta durante il periodo di ricostruzione del santuario ad opera di Frigyes Schulek tra il 1872 e il 1896.</p>
