Coronation in the Buda Castle Mary Magdalena Church
Francis Joseph Charles of Habsburg-Lorraine, who came to the Hungarian throne under the name Francis I (1792-1835) was the grandson of Maria Theresa.
His coronation took place on 6 June 1792 in the Mary Magdalene Church. The church was empty at that time, and it was furnished and decorated only for this event. This was the first time that Archduke Joseph, the later palatine visited Buda, who participated in the event aged 16 at that time.
