The Holy Saviour Church (Slovak: Kostol Najsvätejšieho Spasiteľa, Jezuitský kostol) also called the Jesuit Church, is an originally protestant church from the 17th century on the in the Old Town of Bratislava, Slovakia.[1] Today, the church belongs to the Society of Jesus, known as the Jesuit Order.

Location[]

It is located next to the Old Town Hall (Bratislava).

History[]

The church was built from 1636 to 1638 as a place of worship for the protestants as there was a growing number of protestants of German ethnicity in the city. By the King's decree the church could not resemble a Roman-Catholic house of worship in any way; so it was built without a spire, presbytery and lacking entrance from the main street.
