<\/span>The wooden articled Evangelical church<\/strong> near the village Sv\u00e4t\u00fd Kr\u00ed\u017e is <\/span>one of the largest wooden buildings in the Central Europe<\/strong> which was moved here from Paludza between 1974 and 1982.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It stands on the border of the territories administered by Sv\u00e4t\u00fd Kr\u00ed\u017e and Lazisko. The ground plan of the church is in the <\/span>shape of a 43 metre-long cross<\/strong>. The church takes almost <\/span>6,000 persons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wooden Baroque furniture together with the remarkable <\/span>wooden Baroque altar from 1693<\/strong> with the painting of Christ’s Transformation were designed to inspire awe. Also the pulpit standing on log foundations supported, as if by a Baroque angel is unique both in terms of visual impression and acoustics. The altar and the pulpit were made by the woodcarver J. Lerch of Ke\u017emarok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The <\/span>two-storied choir emporia<\/strong> in the interior of the church are adorned by Biblical paintings and along with a big chandelier of Venetian glass they create a charming atmosphere. Part of the church is also an independently standing wooden tower serving as a belfry. It was added to the church later.<\/p>\n\n\n
