The Battlefield Memorial Church in Mohács is a 20th-century church dedicated to the Virgin Mary, commemorating the Battle of Mohács and serving as a modern Roman Catholic memorial site.
Also known as Nagyasszonya Temple, the Battlefield Memorial Church stands in Mohács’s main square (Széchenyi tér) and is part of the Diocese of Pécs. Consecrated on August 29, 1940, the church commemorates the historic 1526 Battle of Mohács, where Hungary suffered a decisive defeat.

The church is celebrated for its modern architectural design, rather than age, featuring harmonious sacred space and stunning stained glass. Its dome reaches 30 metres in height with a diameter of 20 metres, and the interior floor accommodates up to 3,600 visitors, making it a significant venue for mass gatherings and memorial ceremonies. The church’s design emphasizes the solemnity and reflection appropriate to a battlefield memorial while integrating contemporary artistic elements.
