St. Nicholas' Church, Eastern Orthodox church building in Podhradie, Slovakia
The church features a stone niche above the main entrance displaying a statue of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors.
Archaeological excavations in the 1990s revealed remains of an 11th-century rotunda at the location, which was partially destroyed in the 1270s.
The church exhibits both Early Baroque and Baroque architectural elements, constructed primarily with brick materials under the direction of Paul Pálffy.
The building includes a crypt accessible through a narrow staircase, containing multiple burial chambers from different historical periods.
The church structure faced stability issues during the 1960s due to neighboring building demolitions and sustained damage from a lightning strike in 1966.
