Church of the Holy Spirit, Modern Catholic church in Dúbravka district, Bratislava, Slovakia.
The Church of the Holy Spirit in Bratislava's Dúbravka district is a circular building designed by architects Ľudovít Režucha and Marián Lupták, with a roof rising 30 m. It combines a church space and pastoral rooms. Instead of an altar painting, a forged metal dove by master Jurovatý hangs on the wall.
The cornerstone of the Church of the Holy Spirit was consecrated in 1995 by Pope John Paul II during his visit to Slovakia at Šaštín. The church, designed by architects Ľudovít Režucha and Marián Lupták, was blessed on 26 October 2002. In the night of 16 to 17 October 2021, unknown perpetrators damaged the glass panes of the church's windows and doors by gunfire, causing damage estimated at 2,500 to 3,000 euros.
The building functions as a gathering space for the local Catholic community to participate in regular worship and spiritual celebrations. People come together here for masses and important moments in their religious life.
The church interior holds around 600 visitors, arranged in a circular layout around the altar area. The building stands in Bratislava's Dúbravka district and combines a church hall with pastoral rooms. A 3D model of the church is available on the website of the Roman Catholic parish Bratislava-Dúbravka.
The unconventional roof design departs significantly from traditional church architecture forms. This innovative approach makes the building a notable example of contemporary religious architecture in the city.
