one of the bright frescoes in the wooden church of Hervartov
The Church of Saint Francis of Assisi, in Hervartov, not far from Bardejov, is a wooden gothic-style church, built at the end of the 15th Century. It is the oldest, and best preserved wooden church in Slovakia, the roof still covered with shingles. The inside is richly decorated, most notably with a painting of The Last Supper and of the fight between Saint George and the Dragon, both from mid-17th Century. There are, of course, many more wooden churches in this area.
