For children
Imagine coming back 102 years later. It's 1924. There are no modern cars or smartphones around you, just horses and chariots that roar loudly on stone roads. Welcome to Podhorany, where the Evangelical Church is formed.
Local people built the walls of the church together. They wanted the building to be solid. That was when the people who loved their land and community lived here. In the morning, fireplace smoke poured out of the windows of the houses, and the sound of the bells called for a meeting. Everything was done more slowly and with more care.

Seasonal recommendations
Spring brings around Podhorian green meadows and flowering trees that form the backdrop of the Evangelical church. Early fog and spring light are suitable for photography the exterior of the building. Since the weather is variable, we recommend fixed waterproof footwear for muddled roads. Clothe in layers because of the colder wind that often blows in Eastern Slovakia this time.
The summer months surround the village and the historical church with dense vegetation. During the summer season the sun shines on the facade the longest. Side light to capture architecture is the most intense late afternoon. Morning hours before noon heat are suitable for walking around the building.
Autumn colors the landscape under the Slanské vrchy mountains into yellow, orange and brown shades. The sun drops lower in the afternoon, creating long shadows and contrasting lighting suitable for masonry and roofs. The soil is moist and temperatures are falling, so prepare a warm windshield and trekking shoes. The best lighting conditions for photography last only around noon and early afternoon.
Winter hides Podhorany in snow, where the silhouette of the Evangelical church stands out. Freezing days create a quiet environment. Winter shoes with non-slip soles are essential for icy doughs as well as thermal laundry, cap and gloves. During the December day it is advisable to go on a tour in the morning, while the sunshine lights the snowy surroundings of the monument.
