Description


A listed cultural sight. The classicistic church, where worships have been held since 1831. It was built at the place of an older church, in old part of Piešťany, nad it took over its patrocinium. A longitudinal, not very segmented shape of the church is pointed with a tower that slightly arises from the western richly decorated facade. The three severies of the nave and the presbytery (with a shallow oval closure) are supported by the Prussian arches, decorated by the local church painters, F. Pap and E. Petrovič. The altarpiece apotheosizing the patron of the church was painted in 1831 by the painter Ziegler. The window - panes were designed 120 years later by the painter Janko Alexy. Testimonies of the church ś beginning are words and a chronogram chiselled in Latin on the period marble plaque. The plaque is placed in the church antechapel. Unfortunately, there is no record of an architect. The votive stones sculptures - statues, sculptures and crosses situated around the church are dated to the years between 1760 and 1927. Most of them were created by anonymous folk artists and originally paced along the roads, bridges, houses, cemeteries, or memorial places. Only later they were removed to the vicinity of the church. The statues of St. Vendelin and Florian (the oldest from eight artefacts) were formally recognised as listed cultural sights.
