stredovekymi FRESKAMI
Series from GEMER region - churches with
medieval FRESCOES

Evanjelicky kostol stoji na svahu nedaleko sosovkoviteho namestia,
na terase, podopretej kamennymi murmi. Na tomto mieste zaciatkom
14. storocia postavili kaplnku sv. Valentina a okolo 1480 dostavali
aj jednolodovy goticky farsky kostol. Ked sa uz vsetci do kostola
nepomestili, v r. 1641 spojili kostol s kaplnkou a okolo 1727
zacali stavat priecnu lod, pricom kostolna veza na zapadnej casti
terasy stala samostatne. 
V roku 1740 lod kostola
predlzili az po vezu, a po roznych upravach vo vnutri kostola ho
neogoticky prestavali a vymalovali okolo 1891. V roku 2002 chceli
vnutro kostola znovu vymalovat a upravit, a pri prieskume stien sa
vtedy objavili vzacne stredoveke malovane vyjavy z 15. storocia: na
juznej stene svatyne Posledny sud s postavou sv. Michala
archanjela, na severnej stene svatyne je sv. Juraj, zabijajuci
draka a fragment vyjavu Pilat si umyva ruky, na vychodnej stene
svatyne je pomerne poskodeny vyjav Ukrizovanie, nad vitaznym
oblukom je rozmerny obraz Korunovanie Panny Marie, ktory zdobia
postavicky styroch anjelov, hrajucich na violu, lutnu, gajdy a
tympany. Po stranach vitazneho obluka je vlavo 
unikatny obraz sv.
Hildegardy z Bingenu, jednej z najvyznamnejsich nemeckych svatic, a
vpravo stoji sv. Hieronym s levom pri nohach. Popri figuralnych
scenach boli farebne vymalovane aj ramy okien klenby zdobili
cervene hviezdicky. Cast tychto malieb je uz restaurovana, ale
odbornici predpokladaju, ze dalsie objavy cakaju na restauratorov
aj na ostatnych stenach v kostole.

The evangelical church is located on a slope not far from the
spiral-shaped high square, on a terrace, supported by a massive
stone-wall. In this place a St. Valentine´s Chapel was erected at
the beginning of the 14th century and a one-nave Gothic parish
church was completed about 1480. As the church became too tight for
all the population, it was connected together with the chapel about
1641, about 1727 the building of a transept began, but the tower in
the western part of the terrace stood still alone. In 1740 the
church-nave got enlarged up to the tower and the interior of the
church was in 1891 reshaped and decorated in Neogothic style. As
the interior renewal in 2002 was prepared, the restorers discovered
precious wall-painting fragments from the 15th century: on the
southern wall of the presbytery there was a Last Judgement with St.
Michael Archangel, on the northern wall there is St. George killing
the dragon, and Pilate washing his hands, and a part of a damaged
Crucifixion scene on the eastern wall, above the Triumphant Arch
there is the Coronation of the Virgin, joined by four musicians:
angels playing viola, lute, bagpipe and kettledrum. On the sides of
the Arch there is a unique picture of St. Hildegard from Bingen
– one of the most significant German female saints on the
left, and St. Hieronymus with a lion on the right side. 
According to the narrative
pictures the window frames were painted too and the vaulting was
decorated with tiny red stars. These paintings are partially
restored now, but it is assumed by specialists that following finds
are waiting for unveiling on the other walls in the
church.
