The first building of the church was built already in 1687. In 1717 it was rebuilt and given the present shape . The church is sacred to the Holy Trinity. Protestants from the whole northern Europe financially supported the building. Swedish and Danish kings ordered whip-rounds in their countries to support the building of this church. The construction was carried out without using a single nail. The clay plastered exterior walls are rather misguiding whereby only shingle roof suggests that it´s really a wooden jewel. The wooden church also called “articular church” offers 1500 places to sit on the ground floor and six choirs.

The wooden evangelical church was written into the List of the UNESCO World Heritage, within the scope of the enlistment of the Wooden Churches of the Slovak part of the Carpathian Mountain...

V južnej časti mesta sa nachádza mimoriadne zaujímavá sakrálna pamiatka. Drevený evanjelický kostol z roku 1717, ktorý bol v roku 2008 zapísaný v rámci zápisu súboru ôsmich Drevených chrámov v slovenskej časti Karpatského oblúka do Zoznamu Svetového kultúrneho dedičstva pamiatok UNESCO. Artikulárne kostoly sú sakrálne stavby, postavené na základe dvoch článkov (artikul), ktoré boli prijaté na sneme v Šoproni (Maďarsko) v roku 1681. Tie umožnili výstavbu evanjelických kostolov v určitých stoliciach a mestách Uhorska. Stavebným materiálom bolo výlučne drevo. Ich poloha zvyčajne bývala na nevhodnom teréne (močaristá zem) alebo na potupnom mieste, napríklad v blízkosti krčmy. Aj takýmto spôsobom boli obmedzované práva iných vierovyznaní v Uhorsku, než katolíkov.

Prvý kostol existoval už na konci 17. storočia. Jeho pozostatkami sú krstiteľnica s medeným vekom, náhrobné kamene v podlahe a samotný pôdorys. Nový kostol bol po – stavený za rekordné 3 mesiace. Na jeho stavbu prispeli protestanti z celej severnej Európy. Staviteľom kostola bol tesársky majster Juraj Müttermann z Popradu. Pôdorys je v tvare rovnoramenného gréckeho kríža. Drevená valená klenba spočíva na štyroch barokových krútených stĺpoch. Vraj sa pri jeho stavbe nepoužil jediný železný klinec. Z vonkajšej strany je objekt omietnutý, čo navodzuje dojem murovanej stavby.

Kostol je fascinujúci nielen svojimi monumentálnymi rozmermi, ale aj bohatou maľovanou výzdobou. Tá je častokrát prirovnávaná k Michelangelovým výjavom v Sixtínskej kaplnke. K interiérovým skvostom nepochybne patrí bohato zdobený barokový drevený oltár, baroková kazateľnica s baldachýnom, či okná, ktoré pripomínajú okná na lodi. Vzácnosťou kostola je organ, ktorý je najstarší funkčný barokový dvojmanuálový nástroj na Slovensku. Pre svoju unikátnosť zaujal natoľko, že sa stal nosným motívom poštovej známky. Drevený evanjelický artikulárny kostol rozhodne nemožno pri návšteve Kežmarku obísť. Okrem bohoslužieb je pre svoju skvelú akustiku využívaný aj ako koncert – ná sieň. Jeho interiér bol napríklad kulisou našej najznámejšej vianočnej rozprávky – Perinbaby.

Very beautiful church with striking mix of sublime and naïve pieces of ecclesiastical art and interior decorations. Definitely worth a visit inside. Access every half an hour with a guide who speaks for Slovak audience while we got a flier with explanations in English language. Entry ticket 3 Eur per person which also allows entry to neighboring new...

A beautiful church that you wouldn't know it from the outside. An unassuming and low-key building with the incredible decoration. You're not allowed to take pictures inside. And even though we arrived when it was open, we were turned away. I didn't really understand the reason, but the lady was kind of grumpy :-) Anyway, I rate the BUILDING not apathetic.

One of the best preserved Slovak wooden sacral buildings is the articled Evangelical Church of the Holy Trinity (Kostol sv. Tojice) in Kežmarok. In 2008, along with seven wooden churches of the Slovak part of Carpathian Mountain Area, it was included on the UNESCO Word Heritage List.
