Die Matthiaskirche ist eine römisch-katholische Kirche der ungarischen Hauptstadt Budapest. Sie befindet sich am Dreifaltigkeitsplatz im Burgviertel auf der Budaer Seite der Stadt und ist somit ein Teil des I. Stadtbezirks. Die Matthiaskirche – offiziell Liebfrauenkirche (Nagyboldogasszony-templom) – war die erste Kirche auf dem Schlossberg. Sie ist als Teil des UNESCO-Welterbes eingetragen. Hier fanden die Krönungszeremonien von Karl I. Robert (1309), Franz Joseph I. (1867) und Karl IV. (1916) statt. Sie ist deshalb auch unter dem Namen „Krönungskirche“ bekannt. Die Kirche dient als Kathedrale des ungarischen Militärordinariats. Der heutige Name der Kirche geht auf König Matthias Corvinus (1458–1490) zurück, der die Kirche 1470 um einen fünfgeschossigen Turm und das königliche Oratorium erweitern ließ. Noch heute finden wir sein Wappen gleich neben dem Marientor, ursprünglich war es jedoch am Turm platziert. König Matthias förderte die Kunst und holte viele Künstler insbesondere aus Italien ins Land, weshalb der Matthiasturm eine interessante Mischung aus gotischem und Renaissancestil darstellt, dem damals in Italien dominanten Stil. Matthias feierte auch seine beiden Hochzeiten hier, zunächst mit Katharina von Podiebrad (1461), Tochter des böhmischen Königs Georg, und nach ihrem Tod mit Beatrix von Aragón (1476), Tochter des Königs von Neapel Ferdinand I. Seitdem wird das südöstliche Tor der Kirche als „Brauttor“ bezeichnet.

The last two Kings of Hungary were crowned within its walls: Franz Joseph I of Hungary, and Charles IV of Hungary .
The church was also the location of the "Marian Miracle" of Buda. In 1686, during the siege of Buda by the Holy League, a wall of the church - used as a mosque by the Ottoman occupiers of the city - collapsed due to cannon fire. It turned out that an old votive Madonna statue was hidden behind the wall. As the sculpture of the Virgin Mary appeared before the praying Muslims, the morale of the Muslim garrison collapsed and the city fell on the same day.
