The Extraordinary Capacity of the Wooden Church
A structure assembled with wooden components
A wooden church that captivates with its magnificent interior
The wooden articular Church of the Holy Trinity is one of Kežmarok’s most precious historical monuments. It took on its current form in 1717 and is built of red spruce on a Greek cross floor plan. No metal fasteners were used in its construction—the beams are joined by wooden nails, wedges, and staples.
Behind its unassuming exterior lies a richly decorated Baroque interior. The ceiling resembles a blue sky with clouds, apostles, and evangelists; the space is complemented by six wooden choirs, a polychrome altar, and a two-manual organ with 18 stops. The church can seat up to 1,541 visitors and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008.
