saint Nicholas' Orthodox Church Church

Welcome to the heart of Bratislava-Old Town, where the historical monument - the Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas stands before your eye. This church is located on the site, which was brought to bear by Turkish danger in 1550 when the original Gothic church was destroyed. You stand before the Orthodox temple, which is the conscience of many generations. The church was built in 1661 by Františka Khuenová, the widow of Palatin Paul Palffy. Jehovah's initiative was motivated by the fear of the Turkish danger that threatened the town and the ambition to protect its vortex in times of unrest. In 1661 the building of this Orthodox church began, which has not only spiritual but also historical value. Architecturally, it is a simple but distinctive building. Look up and see the temple facade - although the specific details of the architecture are unknown, you can feel its historical seriousness. In 1752, Peter Brandenthal's pulpit was inserted into the church, giving the temple even more speciality. St. Nicholas' Temple also has its attractions. His original building was motivated by fear of Turkish danger, which led to the destruction of the original Gothic church. In 1945 the Cup burned the temple and after reconstruction in 1950 became part of Orthodox church, thus continuing the spiritual mission of its founder. Let us look at this monument and take into account its historical context. Even though the architects remained unknown, their work still talks about spiritual determination and willingness to protect their vortex in times of obstacles. And now that you've realized the historical context of this place, I'm going to invite you to another study of the Old Town. Would you hear anything interesting about other sights? Let us look at the surroundings and remember the rich history of Bratislava, which every year reminds us of its testimony. Goodbye in this historic-architectonic journey!
