chudobnych, ktorej bol tento kostol zasvateny. Je zobrazena aj na

This cache will take you to an interesting
church of St.Elisabeth also called The Blue
Church. This church has no famous history to account for
but it is one of the most visited churches in town. It is all due
to its extraordinary looks. The church is painted blue with a fine
blue mosaic decoration and a blue roof tiles. It was built
according to a project by Edmund Lechner
in the so-called Budapest secession style as a symbolic mausoleum
of the empress
Elisabeth (known as Sissi), the wife of the
Austrian emperor Franz Josef I. One can find some paintings
depicting the empress Elisabeth inside the church. Over the main
entrance there is a mosaic of st.Elisabeth
of Durin, the patron saint of the poor and the church
as well. She is also depicted on the main altar.
The project originated around the year 1907, 700 years after saint
Elisabeth was born. The foundation stone was laid on the 23rd of
August 1909 and the church was finished in 1913.
Today, the blue church is a popular sight visited by tourists and
locals alike. Quite a few couples decide to get married in this
church. The ceremonies take place here every Saturday.
Pecularities:
- the tip of the church's tower has the form of the crown of the
kings of Hungary
- Yet another church and a monastery in Bratislava have the
St.Elisabeth as their patron saint
- the statue of St.Elisabeth by Norbert Sadei can be found in
park near the Bratislava castle
- another statue of St.Elisabeth by A.Rigele from 1907 is to be
found in front of the Prepost palace
- Along with the church a secondary school and a vicarage were
built on the other side of the road
- note the memorial commemorating the unborn children situated at
the cross-road
Note: Admission to the church is possible
during a mass or marital ceremonies (or a couple of minutes
after)
