Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession

The Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession was built in 1786 after Emperor Joseph II issued his Patent of Toleration, in accordance with the regulations of the time, without a tower or bells. The Classicist tower was added in 1826, and a new entrance to the church was opened underneath it. The original southern entrance with a brick vestibule has been preserved. The longitudinal hall of the church, vaulted with late Baroque vaults, has an interesting acute-angled closure. Here is a brick column altar with a painting of Christ and the Samaritan Woman at the Well from 1838, which is one of the best works by the important Levoča painter Jozef Czauczik.
 
The church building and tower were damaged by fire and burned to the ground in 1856. However, it was immediately rebuilt and remained intact until 1911, when the roof of the church was covered with eternit and the tower with sheet metal. The church was renovated in 1937. The last interior renovations took place in the 1990s. In 2006, the church tower was given new copper roofing, and in 2008, the roof of the nave was replaced.
