St. Bartholomew's Church, Egyházkarcsa

In the Middle Ages, several smaller villages stood on the site of today's Egyházkarcsa, which built a common church. The present-day settlement developed around the church, which was first mentioned as Corcha in 1215. In the 14th century, the present-day settlement consisted of the villages of Egyházaskarcha (1351), Remegkarcha (1355), Diákkarcha (1357), Barthalkarcha (1377), Lászlókarcha (1377) and Lucakarcha (1467). ; The ancient church, which was placed under the protection of the apostle Saint Bartholomew, is first mentioned in a charter of Archbishop Tamás of Esztergom from 1308. Its branches (daughter churches) in 1377 were Deák-, László- and Bartal-Karcsa. The church was destroyed by fire and flood several times, but it was always rebuilt. It was expanded in 1738, and then it received its current classicist-style form, partly including Baroque elements, in 1819, as it had to be rebuilt.
