Drevený artikulárny kostol
Slovakia
Look at the ground before you look at the church. The site chosen for Hronsek's Lutheran congregation was a hronovisko, river-wash land beside the Hron, with marshes on every side. That was no accident of convenience. When these articular churches were built, Habsburg officials did everything they could to shorten the life of Protestant buildings, tightening already restrictive rules by bending the Sopron articles to their own ends. Wet ground, timber walls: the odds were meant to be poor. Yet the source is clear that the building has never been flooded.
