Welcome to the Nest, a town full of secrets and historical experiences. You are standing in front of the church of Saint Bartholomew, one of the monuments of our village. This church with its area is distinguished by its quiet beauty and atmosphere.
The uprising of this church is surrounded by legends. Chronological data on its origin are unclear, but there are assumptions that it was built on the site of an older sacral already in the Middle Ages. The local priest often spoke of a legend that says that the church was founded as proof of the faithfulness and courage of the city before 1500.
Look up at the church facade. Its simple forms are the result of the morning-modern ceiling, which evolved from Gothic traditions and carries elements of Renaissance architecture. Note the details on the windows - their profiled frames are probably created at a time when painting art came into its golden era.
The church was also the center of the community. In the past there were important local meetings and the church witnessed the historical events of the region. The interest of this place is a work of art in the interior. Under the middle arch there is a hidden symbol or inscription that could reveal the secret of its original purpose or foundation. Many historians and enthusiasts have tried to decipher this symbol, but doom has failed.
Come round the church and let enjoy its atmosphere. Every stone has its history, waiting to be told by someone like you. And if you deviate by a few steps, you could discover other hidden mysteries and beauty of the Nest.
I hope this church gave you a sense of connection to the past. Note every detail and enjoy visiting this place. And when you tear away for a while, remember to visit other historical monuments of the Nest. Thank you for your visit and if you have a question or an interesting find, I promise to give you a happy smile.

Seasonal recommendations
The St. Bartholomew church area is renovated every year with the arrival of spring. The rich green nature and blooming trees form the background for historical architecture, which is going to be captured in a fine spring light. Weather in Prešov region can be unstable, so we recommend layered clothing and visit in additional hours.
Summer days are bright and colorful. The church is majestic in sunlight, but temperatures can be high. It is best to arrive in the morning in front of visitors with light clothing and drinking water.
In autumn, the surrounding area turns into a colorful mosaic of gold and red tones. The morning mist-covered area provides melancholy atmosphere. During this period are suitable warm sweaters and wet shoes, it is recommended to visit in the earlier afternoon.
In winter the church is calm and calm, especially if the area is covered by snow. The contrast of white landscape and historical stones creates a minimalist impression. It is necessary to dress up with very warm clothes with anti-slip soles, as they are open for shorter hours.
