Summary/Abstract: The Benedictine abbey of Kaposszentjakab (Zselicszentjakab) was founded in 1061. Its remains were excavated by Emese Nagy in 1960–1966. Although the reconstruction of the abbey church has since long intrigued research, it is still uncertain whether the earliest abbey church had an axial or a central structure. The new excavations in 2013–2014 unearthed sections of the foundations of a church built prior to the abbey’s foundation. The remains of this early church were incorporated into the new building. The church was rebuilt during the Gothic period, when it received a vaulting.
