The Provostry and Church of the Virgin Mary (Szűz Mária) at Székesfehérvár went through several reconstructions in the Middle ages. The last significant expansion was initiated by Matthias Corvinus. The late Gothic elements of the Provostry’s vault was found by Imre Henszlmann in the territory of the ruined monument in the 1860’s. The rib vault dating back to the period of Matthias Corvinus was annexed to the buttress built in the angevin era. The construction with internal buttresses could come into existence as a consequence of this fixity in the building technique. examples for this can be found in the Franciscan Church in Szeged-alsóváros, and in several churches in Transylvania.
