The church was built in 1783-85 by evangelicals from 13 villages within the Liptov region. It was originally a simple classicist building without a tower. It was added to the temple almost 100 years later and has served as the main entrance ever since. The interior features a 6.5-meter-high late Baroque altar, which is richly decorated with wood carvings with gilded elementsand an image of the Crucified Christ in the middle. Other curiosities include a classicist pulpit adorned with plant motifs and a rare organ from 1892. The entrance to the church is lined with statues of two most important personalities of the church. One of them is Juraj Tranovský, an author of the first evangelical songbook Cithara Sanctorum, published in 1636. He used 1,300 songs in most Slovak evangelical choirs until 1992. The second personality is Michal Miloslav Hodža, who alongside with the Štúr nationalists stood at the birth of literary Slovak language, founded the first Slovak cultural association Tatrín 1844, and four years later they wrote the first political program Demands of the Slovak Nation. Today, these events of national significance are commemorated by the museum exposition Tatrín and Demands of the Slovak Nation.
