Roman Catholic Churches

Hervartov

The Roman Catholic wooden Church of St
Francis of Assisi. In 2008, along with seven
wooden churches of the Slovak part of Car-
pathian Mountain Area, it was included on the
UNESCO‘s Word Heritage List.
The Roman Catholic wooden Church of
St Francis of Assisi was built by the end
of the 15th century (probably between 1499
and 1500).
It is the oldest and best preserved wooden church
in Slovakia. The Gothic portraits and wall paintings
from 1655 and 1805 are the most valuable parts of
its interior.
