The Holy Saviour Church (Slovak: Kostol Najsvätejšieho Spasiteľa, Jezuitský kostol) also called the Jesuit Church, is an originally protestant church from the 17th century on the Franciscan Square in the Old Town of Bratislava, Slovakia.[1] Today, the church belongs to the Society of Jesus, known as the Jesuit Order.
Location
It is located next to the Old Town Hall (Bratislava).
History
The church was built from 1636 to 1638 as a place of worship for the protestants as there was a growing number of protestants of German ethnicity in the city. By the King's decree the church could not resemble a Roman-Catholic house of worship in any way; so it was built without a spire, presbytery and lacking entrance from the main street.
