Evangelical Church. The design by the prominent Slovak architect Michal Milan Harminc won the national competition of architects. The church stands on a small hill, on which a prehistoric urn burial site from the Bronze Age was found during the construction works. The church has a main central nave with an emporium for worshippers, the tower is placed asymmetrically next to the nave. The architecture is clean and the travertine blocks in the base complete the idea of God's castle. The interior is simple and plain according to the principles of the Evangelical Church. It is dominated by the unusual combination of the altar with a monumental stained glass window with the scene of the Ascension of the Lord and the organ into one artistic whole. There is a rectory attached to the church.
