church and cemetery of St. Juraj Church and parish cemetery

In the Skačany, where it seems that time stood before the church and cemetery of St. George, you are facing a place that recalls how villages were once centers of life, faith and memories. In front of you lies the entire area, which is today a national cultural monument. St. George's church was long before the first written records. The exact origin is unknown, but its walls testify to centuries of people's faith. In the Middle Ages, Skačany was a small village, but the church was the heart of their dailyity - a place of worship and meeting, where the fate of the village was decided. The complex consists of a church and a cemetery, which joins it as part of one whole. The facade of the church, although worn out over time, preserves the original simplicity and seriousness. The church is harmoniously interfering with the surroundings - between the fields and forests surrounding the Skačany. The cemetery is not only a place of rest, but also a place where every tombstone guards the stories of those who are resting here. Even if we don't know who ever stood here or was buried, every stone, every tombstone is part of village history. Older tombstones testify to people who lived here at a time when the Skacans lived in peace and worked in the field. The cemetery is like a book written by the stories of those resting here. Church and cemetery are not only stone walls, but the place where the past meets the present. When you stand here, you may feel how the village has changed, but some things remain the same. This area is the bridge between what was and what is. When you leave, you take memories of this place that is older than you, but still alive. There's still a lot of jumpers to show you. Thank you for sharing this visit with us. When we meet again, maybe somewhere else, where another memory awaits with its story. Cheers!
