If you want to include some activity, you’ll find shorter and longer circular routes along the way for walkers and cyclists. The options range from architectural and historical details to a walk of your preferred length.

Church architecture in Podmoky

The nave of St. Bartholomew’s Church is rectangular, while the presbytery area is pentagonal. The nave forms the main part of the church interior; the presbytery area refers to the choir. The church also contains wall paintings depicting scenes from the life of its patron saint. The layout and religious imagery are two distinct aspects of the building. Those interested in church architecture will find both a specific floor plan and an example of pictorial design here.

School and remembrance

The former school in Podmoky is an Art Nouveau building dating from 1906. The date and architectural style give the building a clear place in architectural history; its former function also connects it to local life. A memorial to the soldiers who fell in the First World War stands in the municipal park in front of the former school. Its dedication and location are clearly linked: the memorial commemorates the fallen and stands in the park in front of the former school building. In addition to the building’s history, remembrance of the First World War is therefore another distinct theme.
