Evangelical Church

Banska Stiavnica's Evangelical Church was built in the 1790s, after the reforms of Emperor Joseph II allowed Protestant churches under strict design limits. It has no tower and sits in a row of street-front buildings, so the facade and dome do most of the work of announcing it as a church.

That restraint is part of the interest. It is a quiet contrast to the town's Catholic churches, castles, and mining monuments, and helps explain the mixed religious life of this old mining centre.
