Church of the Elevation of the Holy Cross

The Church of the Elevation of the Holy Cross, commonly known as Kostol Povýšenia Svätého Kríža or the Klarisky Church, is a significant historical and architectural landmark in Bratislava, Slovakia. Originally part of a larger complex belonging to the Order of Poor Clares (Klarisky), this church dates back to the 13th century, showcasing the Gothic architectural style typical of that era. Over the centuries, it has witnessed numerous renovations and changes, yet it retains its medieval charm and significance.

We visited for the silent disco party.

Church itself is pretty impressive.

beautiful, but could get inside. Also kinda hard to find it

The Clarissine Church is a gothic church, part of a complex of medieval buildings forming the former Convent of Poor Clares in the Old Town of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. The former Catholic church is owned by the city of Bratislava and it is used for cultural events. The church is a notable example of Gothic architecture in Slovakia.

The nuns of the Poor Clares order came to Bratislava in 1297 and built a church and a convent with the support of the king. In 1782 the Order of Poor Clares was dissolved, and the church became the seat of a legal academy and school. It is currently used as a concert and exhibition hall.

A pentagonal tower was added in the 15th Century.

The Order of Poor Clares was dissolved in the Kingdom of Hungary in 1782 by the decree of Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor. There are also Clarissine churches in Bamberg, Brixen, and Nuremberg.

Nhà thờ Công giáo theo kiến ​​trúc Gothic uy nghi và cổ kính .

Vypadá to docela zajímavě. Kostel je spojen s klášterem. Tedka Leden 2022 se prej pořád kostel renovuje a tak není kostel přístupnénej veřejnosti. Pěkně se foti kostel s scenérii Bratislavským Hradem. Viď foto. Jinak vstupdo kostela je právě z druhý od vstupu do kláštera. Tak možná v létě se otevřou dveře do kostela.
