Nové Zámky Roman Catholic Church
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Roman Catholic Church of Nové Zámky (Slovak: Rimskokatolicky kostol NoveZamky) dominates the main square of the town, which is in south-west Slovakia. It was built in the years 1584-1585. Initially, it was a simple late-gothic building, and was later rebuilt several times. The building with all its facilities was totally destroyed by a fire. Only the sacristy remained, and an eternal light from the presbytery was saved. Until 1867, the church appeared a typical building in the late-baroque classic style. The most recent major reconstruction work was undertaken in 1877, giving the church a neoclassic character. The round shape of the windows probably dates from this era.
