Assumption Parish Church, Gúta
Building, structure
The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (or Our Lady of the Assumption) is located in the central square of the town. It is surrounded by a spacious, well-kept park. The church was built in the Baroque style in 1724-25, on the site of an older Gothic church destroyed by fire. The building was expanded in 1772. The church interior has a late Baroque barrel vault. The classicist altarpiece of the main altar depicts the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. It is a work of Ferdinand Lütgerndorff from 19521. There was an older fortress wall around the church with loopholes and round corner bastions from the 17th century. This was senselessly demolished in the 1950s. After the restoration of the paintings, the church was reconsecrated in 1996.
