R.13.53

Balatonendréd is a settlement in Istolni Belgrade, south of Lake Balaton. The Sultan Mosque here was built by Ahmet Bey of Istolni Belgrade in H.951/M.1544-45. In 1607-19, Hasan Halife was the imam and khatib, and Ahmed Khalifa was the muezzin. With the end of Turkish domination in and around Istolni Belgrade, the mosque was converted into the St. Andrew Catholic Church in 1744. In 1821, it was repaired and a bell tower was added. The western wall of the church belongs to the old mosque. The presentday church has a longitudinal rectangular plan in the direction of the qibla.
