Church of Saint Anthony of Padua, Košice, Gothic and Baroque church in Old Town, Slovakia.

The Church of Saint Anthony of Padua stands on Hlavná Street with a polygonal sanctuary, sacristy, and prominent bell tower in central Košice.

Built between 1333 and 1405 after a city fire, the church served as a cathedral for the bishop of Eger during the Ottoman occupation from 1596 to 1671.

The interior features Gothic plaster decorations, stone seats near the altar, and vaults above the sanctuary originally dedicated to Saint Nicholas.

Religious services take place four times on Sundays at 7:15, 9:30, 11:00, and 16:30, with additional afternoon services on weekdays at 16:30.

The crypt beneath the main altar contains the tomb of Benedikt Kisdy, founder of the first University of Košice.
