Church in Liptovské Sliače

Even in small villages, we find beautiful buildings. Churches are among the most important for the locals. During our traveling to Slovakia in 2011, we stopped in the small village of Liptovské Sliače. They also had one beautiful church here.

The Gothic Church of St Simon and Judah was built in 1326. Significant are mainly precious art pieces. The fresco of the Virgin Mary The protector for many years has also decorated the reverse side of the Slovak thousand-crown banknote.

The most precious is the late-gothic picture of the Madonna with the Apostles Saint Peter and Paul of 1517, the largest medieval painting in Slovakia.
