Several reports and articles were published in the past weeks hinting that the last great design of legendary architect Imre Makovecz, who passed away in 2011, might be realized in Budapest after all, despite former opposition towards the project. Although the design plans of the monumental cathedral were never supported by the Hungarian Catholic Church because it found the construction of the building unnecessary and costly, some say the circulating news in the pro-government media is evidence that the government might be preparing for something on the matter.
The story of the Catholic Cathedral of Makovecz started in 2004 at the time he sent one of his works to the design competition of the XII district local government for a parish church on Apor Vilmos Square. He later reworked these and created the plans for a grandiose cathedral often referred to as the ’Hungarian Sagrada Família.’
