Basilica of St. James, Levoca

The first church is mentioned in chronicles as early as 1247. However, controversy arose around this date. The first construction of a tavern on Marianska hora was completed quickly, just two years after the founding of the new Levoca. The church above the town was not suitable for space or construction. In 1311, the parish priest Henrich de Leucz (from Levoca) was responsible for the repair of the pilgrimage church. Leucz's successor, Parish Solomon, continued his predecessor's efforts for eleven years. The statue or image of the gracious Virgin Mary was already in the first church. According to the surviving record of the visitation of the Levoca parish from 1702, the birth of respect for the Mother of God of Levoca dates back to the first half of the 14th century.
