Roman-Catholic Church in Piešťany

The Roman-Catholic Church in Piešťany, dedicated to St. Stephan, is in the old town of Piešťany, Slovakia and is a national cultural monument. The first mention of the Roman Catholic parish and church is from the year 1332.

Today's church was built in the years 1828-1832 in classic-empire style. Its walls began to split and also one arch of choir began to split. The church was affected by two earthquakes.
