History
editIn 1813, Slovaks constructed the first church along with a residence for the priest, a teacher's house, and a hall that functioned as a school on what is now Šafarikova Street.[3] This church was destroyed during the confrontations linked with the Serb uprising of 1848–49.[3] Construction of a new church commenced in 1884, and it was consecrated two years later.[3] Since then, services have been held there continuously.[3]
