Szépvölgyi úti körmeneti kápolna
At the sharp corner of Szépvölgyi Road and Ürömi Street, the Szépvölgyi úti körmeneti kápolna stands among everyday traffic. Its simple walls carry restrained Romantic details, while a small wooden turret marks the sacred building above the street. The chapel’s modest scale makes its architectural character easiest to notice when you pause beside it.
Ignác Knabe designed the chapel, which was built in 1854 for major religious celebrations rather than daily services. Corpus Christi processions brought local worshippers here for prayer and shared ritual. The Újlak parish cares for the protected monument today, preserving its place within the changing urban surroundings. An old survey marker remains on the outer wall, adding a precise historical detail to this quiet corner.
