Organic architecture tends to mirror natural forms and growth, and Makovecz’s design here makes deliberate use of symbolic shapes: the building’s forms evoke ancient burial mounds found in the area (referenced in the town’s name), with the congregation space, parish and vicarage, and the main dome arranged like hills rising from the earth. Concrete “trees” and structural elements express a metaphorical forest reaching toward light, blending earthly rootedness with spiritual aspiration.
Located on Szent István tér in the town centre, the church also integrates with nearby civic spaces and artworks, forming a cultural and visual focal point for Százhalombatta.
