In the village of Tákos, Hungary this 18th-century wattle-and-daub Calvinist church has a spectacularly painted coffered ceiling of blue and red flowers, a partly beaten-earth floor and an ornately carved 'folk baroque' pulpit sitting on a large millstone. Called the "bare-foot Notre Dame", the church is almost hidden by a large bell tower emerging beside it. Its roofing is supported by lumber footing (columns), its floor is made of packed clay. Though the church was built in 1766, it looks much older: it is one of the last representatives of medieval-style, rural mud churches. This architectural method resulted in a surprisingly stable structure saving the church even from the latest flood in 2001. Everything inside originates from the 18th century including the 58 cassettes of the marvelously painted ceiling and the nicely decorated benches.
