The impressive religious house was created according to the plans<br />
of architect Ludwig Ybl. It has a capacity of 3,000 believers and was<br />
erected from 1896 to 1901. About 4 million bricks were used to<br />
build this Neo-Romanesque landmark,<br />
which also includes some Gothic<br />
Revival features.<br />
