The Basilica of Our Lady of Hungary (Hungarian: Magyarok Nagyasszonya-bazilika) is a Catholic parish church of the Diocese of Vác located in Márianosztra, Hungary. The former monastery church is consecrated in honor of Mary the Mother of God and has held the rank of Basilica Minor since 2012. In 1352, King Louis I of Hungary built a church and a Pauline monastery in a rural area of Hungary, where his daughter Hedwig was brought up. The settlement that later developed around the monastery was named Márianosztra after the patron saint of the monastery, "Our Mary" (Latin: Maria nostra). During the time of Ottoman Hungary, the complex became a ruin. Following the defeat of the Ottomans in the Great Turkish War, the church was reconstructed in 1712 and rededicated in 1729. In 1786, the Pauline Order was dissolved and had to leave the monastery, later used as a prison, and the church was given to a newly formed parish. In 1989, the Pauline monks returned to Hungary to once again take care of this sanctuary. Once the home of the founders of the Pauline Order, it is now only the seat of the Hungarian province of the order. In 2012, the church received the rank of Basilica Minor from Pope Benedict XVI.
