Holy Trinity Church, Podhradie
Holy Trinity Church, Podhradie, Baroque church in Old Town of Bratislava, Slovakia.
The Holy Trinity Church stands underneath Bratislava Castle near the Danube riverbank, featuring traditional east-west orientation with a parish building creating a courtyard.
The church replaced a wooden chapel between 1734 and 1738 during the evangelization efforts directed by Archbishop Imre Esterházy de Galántha following the 1713 plague.
The main altar displays a Holy Trinity statue with Saint Roch and Saint Sebastian figures, representing protection against plagues that affected the region.
The church includes two bells cast in 1761, with the larger one dedicated to Holy Trinity and a clock visible from four directions.
Priest Karol Scherz de Vasoja served at this church from 1855, saving over 50 lives during emergencies before his death by horse-drawn carriage in 1888.
