Ardovo - Baroque-Classicist church
The Baroque-Classicist church in Ardovo is located at the highest point of the village. From its gate there is a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside. Visitors can admire mainly the interior with a beautiful 18th century baroque altar and pulpit, as well as the wooden gallery.
The Evangelical church was built between the years 1787 and 1788, just after issuing the Patent of Toleration that extended religious freedom to non-Catholic Christians. Interesting is the fact that foundations of an older fortification from the 16th century were found among the walls. It all indicates there was probably another older fortified church in the village from the times of the Turkish invasion. The church’s bell tower was added to the structure in 1928. In case of visiting the church please contact the municipal office in advance.
