The theoretical course held by Zoltán Körösvölgyi at Moholy-Nagy University of Arts in the academic year 2017/18 was titled Contemporary Sacred. As a result, works of art associated with the sacred were born in its wake instead of the common students’ essays. A student specialized in theology offered during teh course to hold a mass service for the group, but they had no venue suited for this purpose. In response, an architect student proposed that they could have a chapel built togeher. This a long-term design process was scheduled, and after a week’s work, now there is a chapel standing on St Emery’s Hill in Pannonhalma.
