Nagyboldogasszony Chapel stands in Hungary among meadows and shrubs, its sturdy stone walls rising from quiet countryside. The building dates to the twelfth century and follows the Romanesque style. Its plain masonry surrounds a rare horseshoe-shaped apse, an unusual form in Hungary. Roman stones found beneath the walls suggest that an older structure occupied the site.

Fires and conflict damaged the chapel and the village of Gercse. After the settlement was abandoned in the late sixteenth century, the building stood empty for more than a century. Local families returned in the early eighteenth century. They sealed the southern entrance, opened another to the west, and added two sacristies. These changes gave the apse its present angular outline and accompanied a Baroque restoration.

Memorial stones for the Szunyogh and Terstyánszky families lie before the altar. The old graveyard has disappeared from the surface. Its buried traces connect the isolated church with the community that once surrounded it.
