The Matthias Church on the castle hill near Budapest Castle is also called the Coronation Church. The coronation ceremonies of Charles I Robert of Anjou (1309), Francis Joseph I (1867) and Charles IV (1916) took place here. The present name of the church goes back to King Matthias Corvinus (1458-1490), who transformed the originally Romanesque church into a mixture of Gothic and Renaissance. In its eventful history, the church was occasionally a mosque, was baroqueised and finally received its neo-Gothic form in the 19th century.
In a side chapel (in the museum part of the church, the coronation of Franz Joseph and Sisi is commemorated).
