Jesuit church

Church of the Most Holy Savior
Slovakia, Bratislava
The Church of the Most Holy Savior, better known to the people as the Jesuit Church, was built in the middle of the 17th century at the expense of the Lutheran Church. However, during the reign of Emperor Leopold I, who carried out the catholization of the state, the temple was confiscated and transferred to the possession of the spiritual order of the Jesuits. Subsequently, the Renaissance church was rebuilt in the Baroque style and renamed - instead of the Holy Trinity, the Most Holy Hierarch. In front of the main entrance, decorated with carved wooden doors, there is a commemorative column symbolizing the victory of Leopold I over the rebellious Protestants. The interior of the church is decorated in the Rococo style.

A few steps from the Old Town Hall is a very interesting church, devoid of towers and a presbytery. This is the Church of the Most Holy Savior or, as it is unofficially called by all citizens, the Jesuit Church. It was built in 1636-1638 by representatives of the German Lutheran Church, but was not used for long for Protestant worship. Emperor Leopold I carried out active Catholicization of the state, so the persecution of Lutherans during his reign intensified. In 1672, the church, first consecrated in honor of the Holy Trinity, on the instructions of Archbishop Juraj Selepcheni, was confiscated and soon handed over to the Fathers of the Jesuit Order.
