Monuments - Dlhá Ves - Classicist Evangelic Church

The Classicist Evangelic Church was built in 1792, following the adoption of the Toleration Patent (1781) by which Emperor Joseph II declared freedom of religion. It concerned these Christian religions: Evangelic Augsburg Lutheran, Calvinist Reformed Helvetic, Russian Orthodox and Roman Catholic. The church has undergone some partial reconstruction. Its bell tower with an interesting top dates from the first half of the 19th century. According to local myths the sphere of the tower contains a message from the ancestors for future generations. Should the village be in great need or grave danger, only then can this message be read. We can assume that such message existed because it was a tradition in other villages as well. However, a more reasonable explanation regarding its content is it being actually a status report from the time of building the church tower. It went through reconstruction in 1913 when it was lengthened by 8 meters.
