Quite unique, nevertheless seems similar to Churches of Peace in Silesia (Poland). If you wish to enter you need to make an appointment in advance. Parking places are limited, but you can try to find some place nearby.

This is really a unique place. Take a little detour from main roads and visit it. Surrounded by very old trees, this wooden church is just amazing. Main structure is build just from wood without any Iron made piece.

One of the best UNESCO sites in the region is closed for sightseing in the end of high tourist season. Shame on you, local authorities.

Closest of the famous slovak UNESCO heritage wooden churches to Bratislava. Definitely impressive, it's been standing for overt three hundred years. There's a number you can call to get let in but we didn't do it this time.

Take a bus from the bus station in Banska Bystrica direction Zvolen or a train. Get off in Hronsek. This church like other which are similar were build in 1725 These churches are Protestant churches and were build as a concession by the then Catholic King. The condition was that it had to be built from wood, contain no nails or metal, could not have a steeple with a bell, completed within one year, the entrance may not face the street. The places which were ground was to the Protestants were either on a hill making it very difficult to build and force the congregants to have to walk far up hill for a church service, the other were, like this church, next to a river, hoping that a flood would destroy the church building. If you g to Slovakia this is the one place you must visit. The structure is still sound and the inside will surprise you. Behind the church building is the Hronsek river, it is actually quite close. You will also see a huge tree outside the front of the building, the national tree of Slovakia, the Lipa. There are 4 Lipa trees of which 2 are as old as the church building. The church is 8 metres high, 26 metres long and 11 metres wide and seats 1100 congregants. The ceiling is te shape of the keel of a boat. Also interesting is that the building has 5 entrances.
