Roman Catholic church dedicated to the Holy Name of the Virgin Mary
Building, structure
"The Baroque Roman Catholic church was built in honor of the Holy Name of the Virgin Mary, and was built in the middle of the 18th century. Later it was renovated and repaired several times. The most recent renovations in 1995, especially the insensitive replacement of the original windows of the nave with plastic ones, had a detrimental effect on the exterior of the building. The church is a single-nave building with a semicircular closure of the sanctuary, an attached sacristy and a side chapel. As well as a tower built into the gabled facade and slightly protruding from it. The facades of the building are divided by semicircular windows and a crown cornice. The tower and the entrance facade are divided by pillars built into the wall and dividing cornices. The tower has a circular entrance with a starting stone and stone cladding. There is a round window on the second floor, and shuttered bell openings ending in a semicircular arch on the third floor. The roof above the crown cornice formed with decoration is pyramidal. The roof was originally covered with shingles. The interior of the church is covered with a Prussian barrel vault, with strips between the arches, which rest on the cornice capitals of the wall fields covered with wall pillars. The frescoes depicting biblical motifs from 1968 are the work of the painter J. Drapka. Above the entrance to the nave there is a brick gallery with a convex-concave parapet. Under the church is the crypt of the Lipthay family, the entrance is covered with a marble slab with the family coat of arms. The central altarpiece of the late Baroque style main altar from the second half of the 18th century: The Assumption of the Virgin Mary was painted in 1864. The coat of arms of the Tersztyánszky family is painted on the parapet of the Luiséz pulpit from the end of the 18th century, and above it is a small roof with the symbolism of the Ten Commandments at its peak..."
