St. Martin's Cathedral, Bratislava
Highlight • Religious Site
The Gothic three-aisled church from the 15th century is considered the coronation church of the Hungarian kings.
The three-aisled Gothic cathedral of Bratislava was built on the site of an earlier Romanesque church from 1221, which was dedicated to the Holy Saviour.
It was here that Ludwig van Beethoven performed his work Missa solemnis for the first time in Pressburg in 1835. A few years later, in 1884, Franz Liszt also conducted a Hungarian coronation mass here. The cathedral is without doubt one of the largest and best preserved Gothic religious buildings in Bratislava.
Its construction began at the beginning of the 14th century, on the site where a Romanesque church had previously stood. Many masters were involved in the extension and expansion, including those who built St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna. The most famous include Hans Puchsbaum and Anton Pilgram. The temple was consecrated in 1452, but it did not take on its final form until 1510.
The 18th century saw another reconstruction in the Baroque style, which was again carried out by the most talented artists. The last change in the Gothic style followed in the middle of the 19th century. The cathedral can be admired in this form more or less to this day.
