Church of St. Catherine, Banská Štiavnica
Church of St. Catherine, Banská Štiavnica, Late Gothic church in Banská Štiavnica, Slovakia.
The Church of St. Catherine stands on a steep slope at the lower part of Holy Trinity Square, featuring decorated stone baptistery and star-shaped vaults.
Construction of the church started in 1488 following the destruction of the old town, with final consecration taking place in the year 1500.
The church served both Catholic and Lutheran congregations throughout its history, earning the name 'Slovak Church' when services began in Slovak language in 1658.
The church remains an active religious site in the center of Banská Štiavnica, accessible from multiple directions through medieval road intersections.
The structure lacks a traditional bell tower due to geological constraints, distinguishing it from other religious buildings of its period.
