In 1241, the Mongols destroyed the original Romanesque Matthias Church, built in 1015 A.D. The rebuilt florid Gothic building, which can mostly be seen only from inside, was completed in the late 13th century. Of course, the day we visited, the interior of the church was off limits due to a number of scheduled weddings. Every doorway seemed to have a bride and groom waiting outside it — I think we counted close to 15 couples in all.
