Paul's Church in Késmárki
Building, structure
The church, first mentioned in written sources in 1654, burned down in a fire in 1741. After that, under the direction of the Pauline Order, the church was rebuilt in six years. It was then that it received its still defining Baroque appearance. ; The single-nave church, with a gabled, straight sanctuary section, is located on a closed street frontage, and has a gabled roof, now covered with tiles. Its street facade, crowned with a Baroque, curved attic, is divided by four huge pilasters, while the two edges of the facade are closed by one smaller, similar pilaster each. Above the unusually small, stone-framed entrance door located in the axis of the facade, two rows of windows and niches for statues can be seen. ; The interior of the church, the pulpit and the side altars are also in Baroque style. Unfortunately, the original Baroque high altar has not survived, and the statues that once decorated the niches of the main street facade have also been destroyed.
