Abstracts

EN

The medieval Franciscan monasteries of Bratislava (Slovakia) and Sopron (Hungary) are important representatives of the Gothic architecture of the former Hungarian Kingdom. An extensive research executed between 2013 and 2017 has proven that the construction of their towers was closely related to the workshop of the Stephanskirche, Vienna; and that they are important milestones in the evolution of the Gothic spires, with significantly earlier construction date as it is widely accepted in the literature. This article is based on the corresponding parts of the author’s PhD thesis defended in 2017.
