The construction of the church in Kyjatice dates back to the end of the 13th or the beginning of the 14th century. Like the surrounding villages, Kyjatice adopted ideas of the Reformation: we know the names of evangelical pastors working here since the 1620s. With a short break during the re-Catholicization, the Kyjatice Church has always been and still is Lutheran. This originally fortified Romanesque-Gothic single-nave church with a square chancel, an eastern tower and a northern sacristy, hides rare murals. The fresco decoration of the church comes from two stages – from the end of the 14th (chancel, triumphal arch) and the first half of the 15th century (north wall of the nave).
After the adoption of the Reformation, the murals were whitewashed, but discovered in 1894 (by István Groh) and repainted. Their discovery and restoration took place in the 1980s, when a comprehensive research of the church took place. We find scenes of apostles, several saints and prophets in medallions, the figures of wise and obscure virgins on the triumphal arch lining. On the triumphal arch, we find scenes from the life of Christ – the kiss of Judas, Christ before Pilate, Carrying the Cross, the Crucifixion and Lamentation of Christ (Pietà). The nave is dominated on the northern wall by a unique depiction of the Last Judgment in the form of a large circle, centered on Jesus in the almond tree. On the fresco, Jesus judges the living and the dead, rising from the graves, and dividing them into righteous and condemned. The nine fields of the circle represent the onset of nine distinctive angelic choirs and crowds of the victorious church. The painting is reminiscent of illustrations in the manuscripts of St. Hildegard of Bingen. The painting is dated to the year 1486. In addition to frescoes, the Gothic is also represented by a southern late Gothic portal and doors and a simple portal to the sacristy. The wooden coffered ceiling with Renaissance floral ornaments dates from 1637, from the times when the church was used by the Lutherans (similar to other wooden furniture – the western tribune or the so called patronage bench). On the ceiling, there are also the names of the masters: Lazar Galko and Jakub Stephanik, the mayor. The simple stone baptismal font is probably from the 13th century. The Renaissance altar from 1678 fills the entire façade of the chancel. The sculptures of the three apostles have a central position, with Jesus Christ and two angels in the extension. The richly carved wooden baroque pulpit dates from the first third of the 18th century.

Il Santuario di San Romedio si trova in Trentino, immerso nella natura selvaggia della Val di Non, abitata da caprioli e cervi.
L'alone di sacralità e mistero sorto attorno alla persona di San Romedio, la conformazione architettonica del santuario e la sua particolare ubicazione contribuiscono a fare di questo posto un luogo incantato e fiabesco.
Il santuario sorge su di una roccia alta 90 metri ed è costituito da più chiese e cappelle, che seguono la conformazione della roccia, collegate tra loro da una ripida scala di 131 scalini.
Gli edifici che costituiscono il santuario sono di datazioni diverse; la costruzione più antica, sorta attorno alla tomba dell'eremita Romedio, risale intorno all'anno 1000.
L'intero complesso si articola in 5 chiesette:
la chiesetta dell'Addolorata, costruita in ringraziamento per la pace dopo la guerra del 1915-18,
la chiesetta di S. Giorgio del 1489,
la chiesetta di S. Michele del 1514 ,
la chiesa maggiore di S. Romedio eretta nel 1536
e la chiesa Antica, la prima costruita, che conserva in urne le reliquie del Santo.
In particolare le prime chiesette sorsero grazie alle pietre trasportate sul luogo sacro dai primi pellegrini, che oggi possiamo definire i primi ex-voto della storia. Nel corso dei secoli fino ad oggi questo fenomeno religioso rivive negli oggetti di vario genere, che raccontano incidenti, malattie, pericoli, offerti da ogni categoria di persone, appesi lungo le scale o custoditi all'interno del santuario.
Molto ammirato l'arco trionfale che segna l'entrata al santuario, la statua lignea all'ingresso, di San Romedio e l'orso e il percorso penitenziale segnato dai capitelli della Via Crucis, costruita nel 1940, che collega San Romedio alla vicina basilica dei martiri anuniensi di Sanzeno.
L'atmosfera suggestiva che si respira all'interno del Santuario è legata oltre che alla bellezza dell'edificio e della sua ubicazione, alla vita di San Romedio e alle leggende sorte attorno alla sua figura. (Dolomiti.it)

The master´s quality is manifested through the depiction of faces, introspective,
full of dignity and melancholic lyrism that is enhanced with a delicate sfumato.

The Monastery at Lébény was established between 1199 and 1203, by a nobleman, for private worship. The complex was dedicated to the Apostle Saint James the Great. Though the existing charter for approving the donations and construction was signed by Andreas II (1208), one of the walls of the church had “1206” engraved in them, which may indicate that the church was already built at that time. It is also mentioned in the RegestrumVaradiense (an important language memorial), which was made in the late cathedral chapter of the present Oradea (Nagyvárad) in the 13th century. The monastery of Lébény was attacked and burnt down several times; the first by Mongols, then the second by King Ottokar I of Bohemia; and thereafter by the Turks, which was probably in 1529 and definitely in 1683. The monastery was taken back from the Turks by the arch-abbot of Pannonhalma in 1540. He named a new abbot, though the title only existed on paper for a little bit longer than two decades. In 1563 the monastery was burnt down again for the third time and was left devoured. Presently, the only part of the complex that is still standing is the iconic three-nave Romanesque church in the middle of Lébény village. This church is one of the most important Romanesque style buildings of Hungary, which was most probably restored in the 17th century by the Jesuits, and it was the first ever Hungarian monument that was restored in the second half of the 19th century. In addition, the Romanesque church is also operating as a parish of the village.

The High altar of Saint Nicholas in the parish Church of Saint Nicholas in Prešov, eastern Slovakia, was erected already in late Gothic period (1490-1506, sculptor Ján Weiss). After the fire of 1673 the Gothic shrine with more than life-size carvings survived and was incorporated to the new Baroque altar construction of 1696 with statues by Jozef Hartmann, with the dominant Saint Sebastian. The prominent position of Saint Sebastian in the altar dedicated to Saint Nicholas can be explained by the intervention of the city mayor, donor of the altar, whose patron saint was Sebastian.

The monastery of the Benedictine Order at Pannonhalma was founded in 996 in Western Hungary and had a major role in the diffusion of Christianity in medieval Central Europe. The monastery shows a stratification of different architectural styles and various buildings.
Among these buildings: a school (the first ever school founded in the country), the monastic complex – home to the monks whose life is still based on St. Benedict’s Rule ‘Ora et labora’ -, the tourist welcome points and hospitality facilities, the Chapel of Our Lady, the Millennium Chapel and the botanical and herbal gardens.
