The Gothic Protestant Church of Avas is the oldest building in the centre of the city of Miskolc in Northern Hungary.

In 1544, during the Ottoman occupation of Hungary the Turks set the church on fire.

Because it was already a Protestant church, the Catholic owner of the Diósgyőr estate, Borbála Fánchy, didn't give her permission to use the wood from the nearby forests to rebuild the church, and it was rebuilt only more than twenty years later.

The National Theatre of Miskolc signals the beginning of a play with this sound.

The church is surrounded by a cemetery, where many famous sons of the city were buried, including the politicians Bertalan Szemere and László Palóczy, members of the Latabár actor dynasty, and the father of the poet Mihály Tompa.
