Articular church

The Sopron Congress was called against a background of social unrest, including civil revolt, religious friction and continuing threat of invasion from Turkey.

They were typically decorated within by painting, often of a trompe-l'œil nature giving the impression of marble columns or drapery.

Perhaps the most well-known is the church in Kežmarok, built between 1718 and 1730 under the direction of Juraj Müttermann, replacing an earlier structure of 1687.

Others are at Leštiny (1689, restored 1860s), Hronsek (1725-6, a wood-framed structure now without internal wall-paintings), Istebné (built between 1686 and 1731) and Svätý Kríž (about 1693).

The latter church was originally located at the village of Paludza, which was submerged in the Liptovská Mara reservoir in the late 1970s.
