Art Nouveau plaster painting from 1910 on Roman-catholic church of St.Elizabeth in small village of Mula, south Slovakia.
Church is building with
the first reinforced concrete structure in former Kingdom of Hungary, 15-20 years ahead of expansion of similar constructions in France, Italy, ...
Both interior and exterior of the church (originally sky-blue) is expressing the
Art Noveau style.
Large plaster mural in style of hungarian Art Nouveau on facade above front entrance to the church depicts St.Elizabeth, patron saint of the poor and charity.
The church was designed by architect
Isztván Medgyaszy for a local landholder Rudolf Korffi.
Construction was implemented by company of baron Pittel in years 1909 - 1910.
The dome of the whole church is built of prefabricated reinforced concrete panels which have been joined after their mounting on concrete walls, thus formed the backbone of the atypical roof.
Along the perimeter of the dome are installed concrete cherub statues (work by sculptor
Sidló Ferenc).
Pozoruhodnu
secesnu nastennu malbu sv.Alzbety je mozne vidiet na fasade podobne unikatneho rimskokatolickeho kostola v malej obci Mula na slovensko-madarskej hranici v okrese Velky Krtis.
Kostol bol postaveny v rokoch 1909 - 1910
v style uhorskej secesie podla projektu znameho architekta
Isztvana Medgyaszyho, a je vobec
prvou stavbou na uzemi byvaleho Uhorska so zelezobetonovou konstrukciou.
Technikou konstrukcie stavba predbehla dobu o 15-20 rokov pred podobnymi stavbami, postavenymi neskor v Taliansku, ci Francuzsku.
Svatostanok ma osemuholnikovy podorys, jeho vyska v kupole dosahuje 15 metrov, vyska veze je az 30 metrov.
Strechu kostola zdobi osem cherubinov - anjelov - dielo sochara
Ferenca Sidlóa.
Z modreho na zlty sa zmenil kostol svatej Alzbety v roku 2010. Farbu novej fasady urcili obyvatelia dediny v ankete.
