Seasonal recommendations

The parish church of Mary Magdalena in Bela is one of the most important Slovak sacral monuments. Its architecture and art are best manifested in different seasons.

Spring In spring, the church is transformed into a space full of fine light, which creates color reflections through the stains. Surroundings come alive with flowering trees and grass. For photos it is advisable to visit the church in the morning, when the attendance is lower. When visiting it is appropriate to dress comfortably, but to prepare for variable weather - a lightweight jacket or a jacket and closed shoes.

Summer In the summer months intense sunlight through high windows creates contrasts between light and shadow. The surrounding area becomes a green oasis, where the noise of leaves is heard. During the summer season the attendance is high, so it is better to visit the church in the afternoon, around 15 o'clock. When visiting, it is advisable to wear light and breathable clothing, sunglasses, a hat and a bottle of water.

Fall In autumn the church complements warm shades of orange and red color, which are reflected from stone walls. The leafy trees around Bela change color, and the falling leaves create a peaceful backdrop. Visiting is lower, so it is advisable to visit the church in the early afternoon. When visiting it is advisable to dress with layered clothing, such as a sweater or light jacket, and comfortable shoes.

Winter In the winter months, the sun's rays penetrate through snow covering and create a magical look. In advent times the interior complements the fine lighting of candles. During the visit it is necessary to dress warm - multi-layered clothing, warm coat, scarf, cap and tight shoes with anti-skid soles.
