Church of the Holy Trinity

The Articular church in Kežmarok is a wooden church in Kežmarok, Slovakia. The local Lutherans built it following a period of religious persecution, when in 1681 the Congress of Sopron permitted Lutherans, in articles 26 and 27 of an agreement, to erect two churches in each of eleven counties of the Kingdom of Hungary, nine of which are in present-day Slovakia. The churchers were to be made of the cheapest possible materials - this meant wood; even nails were made exclusively of wood. The construction was financially supported by Protestants from various countries, including Sweden and Denmark.
