The Downtown Candlemas Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Pécs is in a building that spend several hundred years as a mosque. It was built between 1543 and 1546 by Pasha Qasim of the Turks after their successful invasion. It was converted back into a church in 1702. The associated minaret was destroyed in 1766 (Wikipedia).
