The Protestant church is situated on a small hill at the edge of the town centre; it was the explicit desire of the local Protestants that the church resemble Harminc’s recently completed church in Bratislava. The church is a simple hall-form with a tower at the main entrance; in contrast to the example in Bratislava there is a second, lower nave, separated by glass doors running along the entire church, serving as a common space or to increase the capacity of the main nave during services. The tower, standing to the side, ends in a flat tin roof. The high windows contain transparent glass with very simple articulation. In the interior, at the front of the main nave, is an impressive stained-glass window. On the sides of the window are the pipes of the organ – the first instance of such a positioning in Slovakia, and repeated later by E. Belluš to equal effect in his churches for Nesvady and Senec.
