Tentang
Fakta cepat: Tiga altar Gotik dari abad ke-15 dan ke-16 masih bertahan di dalam gereja Lutheran di Spišská Sobota ini, salah satu kumpulan altar abad pertengahan yang paling terawat di Slovakia. Gereja ini terletak di sebuah alun-alun yang dulu menjadi tempat eksekusi, dengan tiang hukuman yang masih berdiri di dekatnya.
Sorotan: Altar utama bergaya Gotik menjulang setinggi 12 meter dan menampilkan 126 figur berdetail yang diukir dari kayu linden, semuanya asli dari tahun 1516. Detail daun emas masih berkilau setelah 500 tahun karena gereja ini tidak pernah dijarah atau dicat ulang.
Tips orang dalam
- Ask the caretaker to point out the carved mouse hiding among the figures on the main altar, a medieval sculptor's signature trick.
- Bring a small flashlight to examine the painted panels on the side altars, as some details are hard to see in the dim light.
- Climb the bell tower for a panoramic view of the High Tatras, but check ahead as it opens only on request.
- Visit the pillory outside in the square afterward and imagine the executions that once took place here.
