Franciscan Church (Bratislava)
- Franciscan Church (Bratislava)
The Franciscan Church (Slovak: "Kostol františkánov" or "Františkánsky kostol") ranks among the oldest churches in the Old Town of Bratislava, Slovakia.
It was constructed between 1280 and 1297 and consecrated by King Andrew III. It was turned into a Renaissance church in the 17th century and into a Baroque church in the 18th century. Selected persons were knighted here in the 16th - 19th centuries each time when kings of Royal Hungary/the Kingdom of Hungary were crowned in Pressburg (now Bratislava).
Two chapels and a Franciscan monastery from the 14th century stand adjacent to the church. One of them, the St. John the Evangelist Chapel, contains a crypt of the family of Jakub, an important mayor ( _sk. richtár) of Pressburg (Bratislava), modelled after the French Sainte Chapelle.
