The Church of the Assumption of the Buda Castle, more commonly known as Matthias Church, is a Roman Catholic church located at the heart of Budapest's Castle District. It's been a religious site for almost a thousand years, but the majority of the grand monument you can see today is from the end of the 19th century. Home to a trove of religious art and stellar viewpoints from its bell tower, the church is one of the most popular tourist sights in Budapest.

The Kazinczy Street Synagogue has become the religious-cultural center of the Orthodox branch of Pest Jewry in Budapest, Hungary. From 1928, the mikveh (ritual bath) functioned in the building, up until the blood-thirsty 1940s (it was only reopened in 2004). The building was located in the area of the Pest ghetto between 1944 and 1945 and was damaged by World War II, when some of the equipment was destroyed. After 1945, the building complex was restored and the equipment was reconstructed.
