A church whose history dates back to the founding of Štrba
The origins of the Catholic parish in Štrba are traditionally linked to the years 1221–1222, making it one of the oldest parishes in the Diocese of Spiš. However, the exact date of the first church is unclear. Some sources place it in the early 13th century, while others date it to the period between 1270 and 1280. The oldest surviving written mention of St. Andrew’s Church dates from 1306.
The interior is dominated by three altars from the mid-18th century. The main altar is adorned with a painting of St. Andrew the Apostle, while the side altars are dedicated to St. Joseph and St. John of Nepomuk. The Rococo pulpit, featuring sculptures of the four Evangelists and the Good Shepherd, is also of exceptional value.
