Church of Saint Michael, Baroque church in Košice, Slovakia
The Church of Saint Michael is a Baroque building in central Košice that features intricately carved stonework on its exterior and richly decorated interior spaces. The structure showcases religious artwork spanning multiple centuries, including painted walls and a decorated tabernacle within.
The building originated as a cemetery chapel within the town walls during the first half of the 14th century. It underwent extensive restoration in the early 2000s that renewed its structure and appearance.
The church served as a gathering place where the local community came to worship and mark important occasions for generations. Today, visitors stepping inside can sense how central this space has been to the spiritual life of Košice.
The church is centrally located and easy to reach on foot, though it remains primarily active for religious services. Visitors should check when regular services take place to ensure they are welcome to look around at available times.
Above the vestry entrance sits one of Europe's oldest municipal coats of arms, dating to 1369. This rare feature shows how early the city had developed a symbolic representation of its identity.
