Seems to chapel, but not. This place is belongs to the famous hungarian champagne maker: Torley. It is a bit risky to go in, but if you trust others description you wont be disappointed.
Budafok (old name Promontor) is a district of Budapest. Jozsef Torley went to France when he was younger, and at Theophil Roederer, beside the work, he learnt how to make a champagne. At 1870 he has bottle his own drink at Reims. Some years later he came back, and he bought a place for house, vineyard, and a ram house. The first bottle was at 1882, this is the date of establishment. Actual place of the factory was moved at 1890.
