Poland became Christian under Mieszko I in 966, resulting in the foundation of the first Pre-Romanesque churches, including Wawel Cathedral in Kraków, Gniezno and Poznań Cathedrals. During the period 976–1248 Austria was ruled by margraves of the House of Babenberg. Towns and monasteries were established. The Romanesque style was introduced to Poland from Germany with the founding of the bishopric of Gniezno in 1000. In Hungary, Stephen I brought the Magyar states together in 1001 and created two Catholic archbishoprics. Bohemia was largely Christianised in the 10th century under Vaclav I. The bishopric of Prague was established in 973 with a Saxon Benedictine bishop, Thietmar. The Benedictine, Premonstratensian and Augustinian orders founded monasteries and built abbey churches throughout the area. The influence on architectural style was initially from Germany, and later from France and Italy. Characteristics There are a number of surviving small rotunda churches, generally with an apse as at Öskü, Hungary and Saint Nicholas Rotunda in Cieszyn, Poland. Rotunda churches sometimes have towers which may be circular as at Saint Procopius Church, Strzelno, Poland or square in plan as at the Church of St Peter and St Paul, Budeč, Czech Republic. Other small churches found in the region are rectangular, aisleless and with a square chancel, or an apse as at the Church of Saint Wenceslas, Hrusice, Czech Republic. Schöngrabern Church, Austria, has a square chancel and projecting apse. Larger churches have a nave and aisles, each ending in an apse, and with no transept. Examples are Pécs Cathedral, Ják Church and the Basilica of the Assumption, Tismice, Czech Republic. The aisles sometimes contained galleries for the nobility. While arcades are usually supported on piers, the Basilica of the Assumption, Tismice has alternating piers and columns which have cushion capitals. Larger churches have paired western towers, some with decorated central portals, as at Ják Church and the ruined Zsambek Church, Hungary. At St. Andrew's Church, Kraków, the unornamented facade takes the form of westwerk, with an octagonal towers rising on either side. Gurk Cathedral, Austria, has a similarly flat facade, rising to two very tall square towers. The Collegiate Church
