LIPOVNIK
SK:
Kostol sv. Jana Krstitela postavili v romanskom slohu, pravdepodobne na prelome 12./13. storocia. V 14. storoci postavili polygonalnu svatynu a pravdepodobne vtedy ho vyzdobili nastennymi malbami. V 16.-17. storoci kostol pouzivali protestanti, az v r. 1662 bol vrateny katolikom a dodnes je vyznamnym putnickym miestom. Koncom 19. storocia kostol presiel 
neogotickou upravou a pristavali k nemu vezu. V 70-tych rokoch 20. storocia restauratori odkryli v niekolkych sondach zvysky stredovekych fresiek vo svatyni, odkryty je vsak len obraz Narodenie Krista (na severnej stene svatyne). V 80-tych rokoch restaurovali fasadu s romanskym murivom a strbinovymi oknami na juznej strane. Pritom archeologovia odkryli aj zaklady zaniknutej dvojapsidovej kaplnky na severnej strane lode – tieto su dnes zakryte terenom.
EN:
The church of St. John the Baptist was built in Romanesque Style about the turn of the 12th/13th centuries. In the 14th century a polygonal presbytery was added and the interior was decorated with wall-paintings. During the 16th-17th centuries the Protestants used the church, and it was returned to the Roman-catholics in 1662, since then it has been an important pilgrimage site. At the end of the 19th century there was a Neogothic renewal and the tower was added. 
In the 70-ties of the 20th century the restorers realized a few sonds and discovered rests of medieval wall-paintings in the presbytery interior, but there is unveiled only the Nativity scene on the northern wall. In the 80-ties the facades were restored – you may see the Romanesque stone masonry and narrow window frames on the southern side. At the same time archaeologists discovered the foundations of a double-apse chapel on the northern side of the nave – these murals are now covered under the terrain.
