12th Century Premonstratensian church on Margaret Island (Margitsziget) in Budapest, Hungary.

This Romanesque Premonstratensian Church, dedicated to St Michael by the order of White Canons and reconstructed in 1931, dates back originally to the 12th century. Its 15th-century bell mysteriously appeared one night in 1914 under the roots of a walnut tree knocked over in a storm. It was probably buried by monks during the Turkish invasion.
