Temple Garden is a screensaver featuring 10 captivating pictures of the old Premonstratensian provost church presented in slideshow format.
This software review is about the Temple Garden, an application that provides users with an insightful glimpse into the former Premonstratensian provost church. Boasting one of the most remarkable examples of late Romanesque and early Gothic architecture in Hungary, this church is now a Reformed church, a cultural monument that tells of the rich history of the country.
As soon as you launch the Temple Garden, you will catch a glimpse of the pair of towers that frame the western facade of the three-nave, cross-aisle basilican church. You will notice the rustic stone facades and how its ornamental stone carvings, entrances, the arcading ornamentation of the cornices, and ledges are captivating to look at.
If you are keen, you will notice interesting details such as the spandrel and the column heads of the tiered, round-arched southern doorway. The partially restored northern door is similar but somewhat plainer in its detail. Within the main sanctuary is a continuous wall painting that dates back to the late 13th century, which was rediscovered in 1900, and restored using the most up-to-date technology, making it the pride of the church.
The compound pillars and capitals of the wall piers are another noteworthy aspect of the interior sculptural ornamentation of the church. They are ornamented with buds, leaves, and animal figures, and if you look closely, you can see traces of painted red lines which hint at how they might have once looked.
With the Temple Garden, you get a fascinating slideshow screensaver that includes ten photographs of this monument. If you are an architecture buff or want to experience the beauty of this architectural gem virtually, then Temple Garden is just the application you need.
