1. The St. Catherine Church
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 16 reviews
The late-Gothic St. Catherine church was built in 1443-91. Locals call it The Slovak Church because as early as in 1658 masses were led in Slovak language here. In a under-the-ground crypt city mayors and rich burgers were buried. Original gothic furnishing, a cross from the 15th century, late-Gothic Virgin Mary sculpture a stony baptismal font and an organ from the late 18th century survived ages.

Small area with nice bars and shops with good walking zones and proper signs for orientation. You can see a lot of beautiful historical buildings and mining equipment/minerals available. Great place to walk would be suburb part of old town with tiny streets on the hill.
8. Protestant Church

Because of the numerous and rich German citizens there was a strong need of Lutheran/ evangelical church in this Catholic area. With respect to a tolerance letters patent of Joseph II., evangelical churches were not allowed to have towers and stand out of the line of other houses. Stiavnica´s evangelical church built in late 18th century keeps the rules but overcomes it with its majestic copula and elliptic theatre-like design with three-storey galleries.

Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is one of the most beautiful church in Banská Bystrica. In church from the 13th century are elements of Roman, Gothic and Baroque style and also very nice alat from the 16th century is masterpiece of Master Pavol from Levoča. At first we were disappointed but later one kind man opened it for us so we were lucky and saw inside of church but unfortunatelly it is not allowed to take a photo.
