St. Michael the Archangel Church

St. Michael the Archangel Church is a stone Romanesque building in Dražovce set on a hill above the village. It features a single nave, a bell tower, and small rounded windows that reflect its medieval origins.

The church was built in the early 11th century and stands as one of the oldest surviving examples of Romanesque architecture in the Nitra region. Its structure has endured for roughly 1,000 years, preserving its original form.

The church remains a gathering place for worship and community celebrations among local Catholics. It plays an active role in the religious and social life of the village today.

The church sits on elevated terrain, so visitors need to climb to reach it. Respectful behavior is important, especially during worship services or religious ceremonies.

The church was built using medieval techniques and retains many of its original structural elements unchanged. This continuity across centuries makes it a rare bridge between early Christianity and modern times.
