the catolic church in Baťovany
architect: Vladimír Karfík (1901-1996)
project: from 1942
finished: 1947 after the war
place: park at the town square of Baťovany, today’s Partizánske
The church was ment to be a dominant, so there was projected the high bell tower with clock, which were not realised.
The middle bay is wide 9m, the aisles 3m. The columns are rounded and has interesting design detail – tiny neon lights in the shape of cross. Catching is also the compartment concrete cieling.
The church is a nice example of racionalistic Bata architectucture using standardized elements.
The art works of Tibor Bártfay can be found inside. Done in white color.
As the communistic regime did not like the church as a dominant of the town squre, they have build a big building in between, that covers the view for the town square.
