Assumption of Mary Church

Rožňava, Slovakia

Assumption of Mary Church or the Rožňava Cathedral was built in 1304 and remodeled during the 15th and 16th centuries. During the 16th and 17th century the church was owned by Catholics and Protestants. With the establishment of the episcopal office in Roznava, the church became the cathedral. Subsequently extensive interior modifications were done. In 1836 the southern aisle was changed to the Chapel of Saint Neita, whose relics were brought here from Rome.

The oldest cultural monument in Rožňava is a Gothic church from the end of the 13th century, which underwent extensive reconstruction at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries, and in 1776 the church became a cathedral.

Beautiful and very unique church full of astonishing art and architecture. Also cathedral of local bishop. With unique corpus of st. Neitus.

The beautiful Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Rožňava is a bit away from the central square, but it is worth looking for it and enjoying the beautiful altars and teachings.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
