Goat Church Sopron

Built in the late 13th century, this mostly Gothic church gets its unusual name from the legend that the church had been built thanks to the treasure unearthed by a goatherd (hence the stone goat being cuddled by an angel on a pillar). The interior is mostly baroque, with a splendid red-marble pulpit in the centre of the south aisle. The church’s Chapter Hall has fading frescoes and grotesque stone carvings – mainly animals with human heads – representing humankind's deadly sins.
