This will be one of the caches in a series of 10 caches in Pápa.
It is not only by virtue of their seize that these thirteen buildings rise above the homes of the small baroque town. When taking a look at the townscape from a distance, travelers first catch sight of steeples of the churches. It is of a touch absolute serenity that is being radiated by these steeples, no matter what style and period in history they represent. The stones, of which they were built, have witnessed inconceivable depths of time: bloody fights, religious debates and impatience, uplifting and splendid feasts, sermons by outstanding and famous preachers, prayers of monks and nuns, choir of students. They continue to bear witness to the dedicated lives of the landlords who would always sacrifice some of their enormous wealth for them. These church buildings are testimony to a history living with us. They hide secrets. The true spirit of Pápa can only be sensed through the stories of these buildings. We will bring you to all these churches!
Szent Anna templom (The St. Anna Church)
This is a Roman Catholic Church.
Local historians suspect that the Anna square (Anna tér) was the location of the center of the medieval village Zsemler. The church of this village stood on a hill in the center of this town.
The wooden Church was build in the 16th century. In 1752, when the Calvinists were banished, the church was demolished to be replaced by a stone church by the Catholics, now the church was called St. Anna Church. In 1779 there was a big fire but the church was built soon afterwards.
The cache contains only a logbook so bring your own pen!
