Church of Saint Francis Xavier (Jesuit Church)
Banská Bystrica, Slovakia

Church of Saint Francis Xavier (Jesuit Church)

Type: church

A Baroque church built between 1695 and 1715 on the order of the Jesuits, featuring rich frescoes and carved wooden altars in the interior. It is located right next to the main square as part of the former Jesuit college — it is easy to walk past it, but the interior is more worthy of attention than the facade suggests.

Tickets

Entry: 🟢 Free entry

The church is free to visit with no entrance fee. Quiet and respectful behavior is recommended during visits to this active place of worship.

⛰️ Heads up: Hilly approach — the uphill section may add about 25 percent to the walking time to the attraction.
