Beautiful looking church.

The Pärnu Jaagupi Church was built in 1531-1534 and was consecrated to the patron saint of the pilgrims by the Apostle James. In 1885, a wooden tower burnt by lightning was restored in 1888 - a stone base was built. The tower helmet was completed in 1907.

Лютеранская кирка в запущенном состоянии . Мне кажется что они все такие . Приходилось видеть не одну кирку . На острове Сааремаа , Эстония ( самая старая кирка в Эстонии ) . Главный лютеранский собор в Таллинне тоже не блещет роскошью . Самое интересное что они их не очень считают достопримечательностью . Обычно туда можно попасть с экскурсиенной группой или во время богослужения . Провославные церкви в Европе выглядят более респектабельнее .

Trencín Castle

Trenčín Castle is relatively large renovated castle, towering on a steep limestone cliff directly above the city of Trenčín. It is a dominant feature not only of Trenčín, but also of the entire Považie region. The castle is a national monument.

History of the castle cliff dates back to the Roman Empire, what is proved by the inscription on the castle cliff proclaiming the victory of Roman legion against Germans in the year 179.

Today’s castle was probably built on the hill-fort. The first proven building on the hill was the Great Moravian rotunda from the 9th century and later there was a stone residential tower, which served to protect the Kingdom of Hungary and the western border. In the late 13th century the castle became a property of Palatine Matúš Csák, who became Mr. of Váh and Tatras.

Matúš Csák of Trenčín built a tower, still known as Matthew’s, which is a dominant determinant of the whole building.
