Trenčín, SK

Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, Trenčín

The church on Marian Square is a kind of "opening act" for the visitors of Trenčín Castle. It is located about halfway to it, so it is a nice place to catch your breath and at the same time look around the town. There are nice views of the opposite Piarist Church, the City Tower or the pavilions of nearby buildings.

Church of St. James

The Baroque church of St. James was built in the 18th century on top of an older church first mentioned in 1276. The present church burned down twice: in 1814 and in 1882. The tower was built from the old church and according to the design of F. Tomašek from Dubnica, it was rebuilt after 1816. On 7 July 1944 Dubnica was bombed due to the presence of Skoda factories. The church was damaged but repaired in the 1960s.
