Kostol Povýšenia svätého Kríža, Functionalist church in Petržalka, Slovakia.

The three-nave church features a basilica layout with a simple elongated form and pillars spaced throughout the main and side naves.

Architect Vladimir Karfik designed the church between 1930 and 1932 after returning from an internship with Frank Lloyd Wright in the United States.

The structure stands as one of the few original buildings from the old village of Petržalka amid modern high-rise residential developments.

The church offers mass services multiple times daily, with additional services on weekends and specific hours for confessions throughout the week.

The building incorporates a standardized construction system originally developed by the Bata shoe company for their factory buildings.
