Szent Erzs\u00e9bet k\u00e9polna \u00e9s Cig\u00e1ny Misszi\u00f3s K\u00f6zpont, Keszny\u00e9ten<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00c1gnes Kov\u00e1cs has designed three chapels in the past eight years in the North-East of Hungary: St Jacob\u2019s in Saj\u00f3h\u00eddv\u00e9g; St Elizabeth\u2019s Chapel and Gipsy Missionary Centre in Keszny\u00e9ten; the Virgin Mary\u2019s Chapel (also known as Barracks Chapel or Memorial Chapel of Recsk) in M\u00e1tramindszent. The common feature of these chapels is the simplicity of their horizontal plan, which resulted in calmness and clarity, their modest dimensions \u2013 only covering 25 or 30 square metres \u2013 and harmonious interior designs that bring about the homey feeling. Each of the three buildings is proportionate with its respective small community, and in these villages it could not have been in a different way either. Their architectural forms are modest, the interiors and the exterior architectural masses are in direct interrelationship. A partial exception is the building in Keszny\u00e9ten where the ancillary rooms break up the simple harmony of the whole structure. Each design is an exemplary work of beautiful architectural modesty. The chapels in Saj\u00f3h\u00eddv\u00e9g and M\u00e1tramindszent employ the archaic house design with a tent-roof, the one in Keszny\u00e9ten evokes the memorable type of round churches typical in Hungarian ecclesiastical architecture back in the era of the \u00c1rp\u00e1d dynasty.<\/p>\n
