The chapel on Margaret Island, rebuilt in the early 1930s by architect Kálmán Lux, stands on the site of a former Premonstratensian church. Its tower houses Budapest's oldest bell, a 15th-century artifact discovered during excavations in 1914.

Photography Tips

For drone photography at Saint Michael’s Chapel on Margaret Island, consider shooting during sunrise or sunset for dramatic lighting and long shadows. Capture a top-down view to highlight the chapel’s placement within the island’s greenery. A low-angle aerial shot can emphasize the contrast between the medieval ruins and the surrounding modern cityscape. Use a slow, cinematic approach to showcase the chapel's historic charm and its relationship to the Danube. Be mindful of flight restrictions, as Margaret Island is a protected area, and check local drone regulations before flying.
