Church of the Assumption, Banská Bystrica, Gothic church at SNP Square, Banská Bystrica, Slovakia
The Church of the Assumption features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and a prominent tower that defines the central skyline of Banská Bystrica.
German settlers initiated the construction of the church around 1255 after receiving a charter privilege from King Bela IV following the Mongol invasion.
The church contains a bronze baptismal font created by master Jodak in 1475 and an elaborate Gothic altar from 1509 by master Paul.
The church stands at the edge of SNP Square, with visitor information centers nearby providing details about the architecture and historical significance.
Local wealthy townspeople, including Vít Mühlstein and Urban Aurifaber, funded additional side chapels during the late 15th century expansion.
